What to look for in the wine
Keep enough acidity in the wine
Tangy ingredients can make a low-acid wine seem flat. Choose a fresh wine for baked salmon with a herb salsa and check the acidity reading where it is available. Taste your sauce before settling on the bottle.
Consider a softer texture
Savoury ingredients can bring out bitterness and drying tannin in a wine. A supple red or a textured white is worth considering here, particularly when mushrooms or vegetables are central to your recipe.
Check the individual wine
Wines from the same grape can differ in body, alcohol and sweetness. Compare those details in the profiles below; a grape name alone cannot establish how a bottle will work with your recipe.
