WINE PAIRING…BY SUZANNE REDMOND

Our recommended Wine Pairing for this Recipe
Insight Vineyard Gewurztraminer €16.99

Gewürztraminer 2013 €16.99

This wine has quite the perfumed  nose, it is packed full with aromas of lychee, rose petal, mango, fresh herbs and a touch of fruit spice.

The palate is also quite alluring with with all the aromas of the nose skipping gently onto the palate with the addition of Turkish delight, orange zest & ginger. This wine although flavuorful is balanced and quite restrained for a gewürztraminer.

A super wine that will pair beautifully with this creamy coconut curry. This wine also has the body to match with the weight of the chicken.

Available from O’Brien’s Wines Nationwide or Online.
