Which Alsace wine to serve with seafood ?
Seafood are delicate dishes that deserve to be accompanied by carefully selected Alsace wines. Let us introduce you to the best options for sublimating your seafood meals. Whether you’re a fan of Riesling, Pinot Gris or Crémant, we’ve got some recommendations for you.
Riesling: Balanced freshness
Riesling is the ideal companion for seafood. Its freshness, lively acidity and citrus aromas blend perfectly with the iodized flavors of oysters and shellfish. Opt for a dry Alsace Riesling for a harmonious match.
Pinot Gris: Elegant Richness
Dry Pinot Gris offers a richer texture and ripe fruit aromas. It’s the perfect accompaniment to creamier seafood dishes, such as scallops au gratin or langoustines in sauce.
Sylvaner : Authentic lightness
Sylvaner, with its lightness and freshness, is an excellent choice for grilled or pan-fried seafood. Its lively, mineral character enhances marine flavors without overpowering them. Serve chilled for an authentic experience.
Edelzwicker: The Subtle Blend
Edelzwicker, a blend of different Alsatian grape varieties, is often overlooked but well worth discovering. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice to accompany a variety of seafood, from oysters to calamari.
Crémant : Sparkling Elegance
Crémant d’Alsace is a sparkling wine that adds a festive touch to your meals. Its fine bubbles and freshness make it an excellent choice for celebrating a special moment with seafood.
Cuvée “Harmonie”: The Unexpected Alliance
Domaine GUETH’s Cuvée Harmonie is a dry white wine that combines Riesling and Gewurztraminer. These two grape varieties, which are so opposed to each other, harmonize to create a fresh, mineral wine thanks to the Riesling, with subtle rose and lychee aromas provided by the Gewurztraminer. An unexpected wine for an equally unexpected seafood pairing.
Cuvée “Les Grès Roses”: Saline Subtlety
Cuvée “Les Grès Roses” is a dry white wine from Domaine GUETH, made from a blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Its delicacy, subtlety and salinity make it a perfect choice to accompany the finest seafood.
