What to look for in the wine
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.
Account for the preparation
Steamed preparation changes the weight and intensity of steamed squid with chimichurri. 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.
