Wines to go with spicy Asian and Indian food

Cape Wine Master Allan Mullins says these are the ideal partners for spicy Asian and Indan food.

For more inspiration, read up on Allan's suggestions for wines with a curry

JORDAN RIESLING 2009  

Gary and Kathy Jordan recently won the Just Riesling Trophy for their Jordan Riesling 2009. The wine is perfectly balanced with 9.5 g/l residual sugar giving it the body and texture to match its fresh acidity and low alcohol (12%).

Like most Rieslings, it will age well but it's hard to resist the mouth-watering spice, lime, peach and apricot juiciness of this wine now.

Enjoy it with a medium to hot chicken-and-prawn curry or spicy Indian baked fish.

CELLAR PRICE: R79

 

DE MORGENZON RESERVE CHENIN BLANC 2009 

Chenin Blanc is a versatile grape that can become very special when the fruit of old vines is matured in oak barrels. This is a complex wine with layered flavours of exotic tropical fruits, honeysuckle and toasty vanilla.

The broad palate is a balanced mix of fruit, oak and acidity with a long aftertaste of almonds, light honey and ginger spiciness. It will age very well.

Enjoy with prawn tikka curry or a Thai vegetable and seafood green curry

CELLAR PRICE: R160 

 

DELHEIM GEWURZTRAMINER 2010 delheim gewurtzraminer

“Gewürz” translates as “spice” and there is no shortage of it in this semi-sweet (18 g/l) beauty. The Sperling family has been perfecting Gewürztraminer for over 40 years and it shows in this tasty pot-pourri of ripe litchi, rose petal, cloves and cinnamon.

This wine is rich and opulent enough to stand up to hot dishes such as Thai curry spiced duck or a spiced coconut crab curry.

CELLAR PRICE: R75

Note: these prices are correct as of September 2011.
