Raw Fish: Sushi, Sashimi, Umami-rich Tuna (as tartar or gently seared)
Pairs nicely with:
– Classic young Grüner Veltliner with a maximum of 13% alcohol and matured in steel tanks: the soft, cool and not quite fully-developed flavours emphasize the clarity and freshness of raw fish. The light acidity enlivens the pure flavours of the dish and lends finesse to it as well. Harmonious and animating.
Vietnamese Spring Rolls (raw) with shrimp and fresh herbs
Pairs nicely with:
– Grüner Veltliner: light and racy with subtle fruit; current vintage. The delicate fruit tones fit so wonderfully with shrimp; at the same time, the Grüner Veltliner’s spiciness carries the intensity of the fresh herbs.
Fried Spring Rolls
Pairs nicely with:
– Medium bodied Grüner Veltliner: the distinctive fruit harmonizes so well with the sweetish taste of the spring roll. Crisp, light acidity and the typical Veltliner taste are important counterpoints that provide the final kick.
– Riesling: an exciting combination – the crisp acidity and flavours of a dry Riesling provide an interesting contrast to the mild sweetness of the spring roll.
