This emblematic dish of Spanish culture is also very popular here, especially in fine weather! Paëlla, a skilful blend of meat, fish and spices, combines many textures and flavors. That’s why it’s not always easy to know which wine to pair with this dish.
We tell you all about the best wine and paella pairings.
Forget preconceived ideas, a red wine can go very well with this Spanish dish if it’s well chosen. Be careful not to serve a wine that is too powerful and tannic, which will overpower the aromas of the dish, especially the shellfish. Instead, opt for a fruity red, a blend of Grenache and Syrah for example, which will enhance the spices of chorizo and charcuterie.
There’s no debate about it, paella is a pretty rich dish! To counterbalance the fat, opt for a dry white wine with good acidity, fruity or iodized. The perfect match is a Sillages Albarino or a white Picpoul.
Rosé is not to be outdone as the perfect pairing for paella and wine, thanks to its lightness. Choose a fresh, fruity rosé like our Versant grenache rosé.
