You will get the richness of fruits like lemon, Green Apple, pineapple &amp; grapefruits with a hint of Vanilla &amp; creamy after taste.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Riesling<\/strong>\u2013 It is yet another popular variety of white wine around the world. It is usually light &amp; thinner than other varieties. The nose if usually green apple with hints of honey, lime &amp; apricot. The flavor enhances with aging.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Sauvignon blanc<\/strong>\u2013 It has the highest acidity level &amp; pungent white wine. Sauvignon blanc shows a strong herbal character with notes hinting to freshly mown grass &amp; yellow pepper.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Pinot Grigio\/Pinot Gris<\/strong> \u2013 It gives a good dose of green apple. It is a fruity wine with crisp &amp; light flavor.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Moscato<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 It is a fresh &amp; light wine that goes well with almost any food.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Gew\u00fcrztramine<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 It is a sweet wine not as sweet as Reisling that it can be enjoyed as a dessert wine but good enough to go with spicy food.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><u>WINE &amp; FOOD HARMONY<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Meat Items<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Meat curries will naturally make a great match for red wines. Smart picks would be aromatic, fresh reds such as Grenache, cool-climate Shiraz with more delicate flavours (newsflash: Shiraz isn\u2019t always big, rich and powerful), or fuller-bodied Pinot Noir \u2013 nothing too fragile.<\/span><\/p><h4><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/D37se9QVUAAl-KU.jpg\" alt=\"Sula Vineyards on Twitter: &quot;In wine and food pairing, you can ...\" \/><\/h4><h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Vegetarian:<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A mild, creamy dal made with lentils, split peas or dried beans opens the door to a range of white wines rather than red wines, which will be too harsh for the softness of the dish. A rich, buttery white such as <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cellarmasters.com.au\/white-wine\/chardonnay\">Chardonnay<\/a>, or toasty honeyed aged Semillon or Marsanne will have the ideal character to complement the lightness of the dish.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eggplant (Baingan) tends to absorb the flavours in which it\u2019s cooked, so choosing a wine will depend on the spices and flavours of the dish. Dark spices will suit lighter-bodied red wines like Grenache, Sangiovese, Tempranillo or Merlot, whereas lighter spices will sing with the aromatic qualities of white wines like Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Grigio and Moscato.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Creamy spinach dishes such as saag paneer with spinach and Indian cheese or saag aloo with spinach and potato match beautifully with the richness and creaminess of rich white wines such as Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Semillon or even fruitier whites like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio or Riesling.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Desserts:<\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Indian desserts tend to be intensely sweet and often incorporate milk, rice and nuts. The delicate flavours of Indian desserts deserve equally delicate wine matches such as\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cellarmasters.com.au\/white-wine\/moscato\">Moscato<\/a>, sweet-style Riesling or dessert wines. Avoid wines with too much acidity and they will taste harsh alongside the sweetness of Indian desserts, instead look for wines with softer acidity and sweet fruit.<\/span><\/p><table width=\"638\"><tbody><tr><td width=\"192\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>White Wine<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"203\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Type<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"242\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Food Pairing<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"192\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chardonnay<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"203\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Light, classic, velvety<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"242\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Creamy Sauce, Seafood<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"192\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Riesling<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"203\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sweet Dessert Wine<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"242\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Spicy Food, Rich Gravy, Tandori dishes<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"192\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sauvignon blanc<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"203\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">dryer, tarter taste, Fruity<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"242\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cheese, Seafood<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"192\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pinot Grigio\/Pinot Gris<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"203\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Strong Fruity<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"242\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Light Sauces, Seafood<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"192\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Moscato<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"203\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Fresh, Light<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"242\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Spicy Food, Salads, Thai &amp; Chinese food<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"192\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Gew\u00fcrztraminer<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"203\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Combination of dryness and sweetness<\/span><\/p><\/td><td width=\"242\"><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Spicy Preparations, Seafood<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><u>INDIAN SPARKLING WINES<\/u><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Sula Seco <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is a great option for those looking for the classic sparkling wine experience on a modest budget. \u201c<em>Seco\u201d\u00a0<\/em>means that it\u2019s a little sweeter than most sparkling wines.
