Generally speaking, lighter reds are a better match for fish than those that are full-bodied. Any tannins in the wine are going to clash with the acidity of the fish leaving a metallic aftertaste, so it\u2019s best to go for wines that are naturally low in tannins, such as Pinot Noir or Gamay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meatier fish, such as tuna or monkfish, often overwhelm light whites, so a red with a little bit of body leads to a much better balance. As with any dish, it is also the way the fish is cooked and the accompanying sauces that dictate which wine will work best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A simple seared tuna dish is a great match for a lighter red such as a Chinon (Loire Valley) or a simple Burgundy red. If you\u2019re adding a bit of spice or chargrilling, you can even afford to be a little bolder with your wine choice. Something like a young Italian Barbera is low in tannin but has loads of dark cherry and plum character to stand up to the stronger flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another textured fish, monkfish often suits a red, particularly if it has been cooked in a red wine sauce. If it is simply roasted, it goes really well with a French or German Pinot Noir which tends to have more refreshing acidity compared to New World examples. Monkfish, especially when cooked in red wine sauce, also works well with Merlot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But let\u2019s not forget ros\u00e9, afterall it is such a versatile and food-friendly wine, and that definitely includes fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A bold ros\u00e9, such as Bandol or Tavel (Rh\u00f4ne Valley), is a great match for a seared salmon steak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more delicate salmon dishes such as sashimi or ceviche, pair with a really crisp, elegant ros\u00e9, such as a Provence ros\u00e9. In fact, ros\u00e9 wine is an ideal partner to most salmon dishes. This also applies to the sparkling ros\u00e9 which goes well as the bubbles contrast nicely with the soft texture of the fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking of sparkling wine, we can\u2019t overlook a bit of fizz as an accompaniment to fish dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone knows about fish and chips and bubbles, right? The refreshing acidity of the wine works perfectly with the richness of the fried food and makes the fish and chips taste lighter. You can use any bubbly with high acidity, like English Sparkling Wine, a dry Prosecco or Champagne for a more refined experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But sparkling wine works with so many other fish or seafood dishes. Another classic match is a bone dry fizz, such as a Brut Nature Champagne where the bubbles match brilliantly with the soft texture of oysters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pairing wine and food is easy, right? Red wine with red meat and white with chicken and fish. While those often repeated \u2018rules\u2019 might hold true in most cases, there is a little more to it. There are many white wines that are perfect for fish and seafood dishes. For example, you can\u2019t beat a […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[46,50,48,49,47,51],"class_list":["post-305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-ideas","tag-mixed-cases","tag-recommendations","tag-special-offers","tag-wine","tag-wine-gig"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":504,"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions\/504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/themes.getmotopress.com\/vite-nera\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2021\/02\/blog-single-02.jpg\")
