Perfect Match: Enkircher Zeppwingert Riesling Grosse Lage, Trocken, Mosel, Mosel, 2021, Weißwein
Mosel · Riesling · € 58.00
For a Thai curry this rich in spice and coconut milk, I chose the Enkircher Zeppwingert Riesling Grosse Lage, Trocken, Mosel 2021 because its off-dry style balances the heat and creaminess with precise acidity and a subtle residual sweetness. The Mosel slate soils contribute to the mineral backbone, which keeps the wine fresh and lively, preventing the curry’s richness from becoming cloying.
Local Hero: Grüner Veltliner Ried Rosengartl M, Kamptal, Niederösterreich, 2020, Weißwein
Niederösterreich · Grüner Veltliner · € 39.95
Da wir in Österreich sind, kommt mein Vorschlag vom Grüner Veltliner Ried Rosengartl M, Kamptal, 2020. Die knackige Säure und der Hauch von weißem Pfeffer schneiden durch die Cremigkeit und passen zum mittleren Gewicht des Currys. Dieser österreichische Wein bietet eine klare Frische, die den Geschmack präzise unterstützt, ohne mit der Schärfe zu konkurrieren.
Alternative: Cave de Tain Saint-Peray, Saint-Peray AOP, Rhône, 2023, Weißwein
Rhône · Roussanne · € 19.95
Similar acid profile, but a different aromatic set. The Cave de Tain Saint-Peray 2023 from Rhône brings medium weight with stone fruit and herbal notes. This complements the curry’s complexity without intensifying the spice, offering a gentler, more rounded profile than the sharper Riesling.
Wildcard: David & Nadia Chenin Blanc, WO Swartland, Magnum, Western Cape, 2020, Weißwein
Coastal Region · Chenin Blanc · € 67.95
Where the Primary cuts, this wraps. The David & Nadia Chenin Blanc, WO Swartland 2020 offers vibrant acidity combined with a hint of sweetness that soothes the curry’s spice while complementing its creamy texture. The fuller body of Chenin Blanc adds weight that supports the dish’s richness without overpowering it.
