Select a wine for food pairing

Pollack served with sun-dried tomato pesto, asparagus, spinach crepes, and yellow pepper coulis

A dish that has different flavors, textures and temperatures, what makes it very interesting to be paired with a complex wine like this one. The sweetness of the pollack along with the dried fruit aromas achieved when browning the fish meat combine with the butter flavor of the crepe. The sweetness of the tomato pesto is balanced and it stands out against the acidity of the wine and its citrus notes. The asparagus provides the typical wild green note of the Sauvignon Blanc – just as it happens with the pepper – and it is here where a bite of food and a sip of wine become one. This is a dish that plays with complements rather than with contrasts.
