Castillo de Benizar Semi-Dulce

A fresh and fruity wine made from Airén. By halting fermentation of the wine earlier than normal they were able to achieve a semi-sweet wine with good acidity, akin to the still moscato wines of Italy. Aromas of pear and banana greet you in the glass before a white-plum note and crisp Asian pear flavors round out the palate.

 

PERFECT WITH

Spicy Thai food, poké, apple pie, salty potato chips

Ceviche, fish tacos, fried tofu with peanut sauce, shrimp diavolo

d’Escausses Vigne Galante

PERFECT WITH

Scallop carpaccio, chicken curry, spicy Thai salads with loads of basil.
