In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Cured ham and melon
Red berry fruit and salt play off each other, and the acidity clears the fat. -
Grilled sea bream
Enough fruit weight for a firm fish without any tannin to clash. -
Summer berry pavlova
The wine is dry, so it frames the fruit instead of doubling the sugar.
