East Meets West
Pairing an Australian wine with a popular Asian starter.
The De Iuliis Verdelho is renowned for its tropical fruit notes of Pineapple, Passionfruit and Guava. It goes so well with a Salt & Pepper Squid, which has crispy, garlicky bits and a touch of chilli. The fresh, tropical flavours of the De Iuliis Verdelho makes it a go-to White Wine with Asian cuisine.
Add more chilli if you like em’ hot! This wine pairs nicely with spicy food so if you love your spice, you’ve found a wine for any occasion.
