A direction
An off-dry white for spicy food
Sign in to saveA touch of sweetness and lots of freshness to calm the heat.
Why this works
Chilli makes alcohol and tannin feel hotter. A light, slightly sweet white with bright acidity cools things down.
What to look for on the label
- Mosel Riesling Kabinett
- Riesling Feinherb
Excellent value for the quality.
