Recommended wine: Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, Riesling

Asian works really well with Gewurztraminer, Chenin Blanc, and Riesling. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not.

The 2009 Lawson's Dry Hills Gewürztraminer is a wonderful expression of a great vintage. The wine isluscious and round with gentle acidity, balanced by a hint of sweetness(9.2g/L). Lemon peel,marmalade, candyfloss, coriander, ginger and floral notes can all be found on the nose. The palate ismouthfilling and rich with lovely concentration. Lychee, lemon and Turkish delight flavours lead on to along spicy finish. As the wine develops it will become more expressive on the nose and increasinglycomplex.
