Most common questions
Drink pairing tips
Pair Riesling with duck noodle soup
If your food palns include Asian, then you should consider helping it along with some white wine. We find that a Riesling, with its hits of fruit, serves as the best pairing to the dish.
Enjoy shrimp fried rice with Gewürztramine
To elevate your shrimp fried rice experience, we recommend some Gewürztramine to go with your dish. This pairing works especially well because this white wine acts as a counterpoint to the flavours of the dish.
Kingfisher and stir-fried chicken
When considering what goes best with stir-fried chicken, we recommend a glass of Kingfisher, it truly complements the dish as it enhances the meals spicier counterparts.
