Recommended wine: Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, Sparkling Rose

Curry works really well with Riesling, Gruener Veltliner, and Sparkling rosé. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. One wine you could try is Dr. Thanisch Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

Dr. Thanisch Graacher Himmelreich Spatlese Riesling

Graach is an excellent wine growing village in the heart of the Middle Mosel. The steep slopes of the Graacher Himmelreich vineyard are facing South-West. They are exclusively planted with Riesling.The nose displays a sweet floral quality of plummeria, fresh peach with a touch of petrol character which is common in German wines. Often the more age a German wine has, the stronger the petrol character. There is nothing wrong with wines with this aroma. This 2003 vintage, only shows a slight – medium petrol aroma. Brimful with character, the Himmelreich Spätlese palate is a wonderful mix of peach, honey and mango. The medium weight interplays enticingly with the finely bound acidity.
