What to look for in the wine
Balance the richness
Look for acidity to balance the richer elements, including the peppercorn sauce. The wine also needs enough body to remain noticeable alongside the food.
Account for the preparation
Grilled preparation changes the weight and intensity of grilled halibut with a peppercorn sauce. Taste the sauce and seasoning as well as the main ingredient before choosing the bottle.
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.
