Pairing guide
Ooh, we do love a good Colombard wine here at Good Pair Days, and this beautiful white blend makes stunning use of the Colombard grapes grown at Matagot’s wonderful vineyards. We reckon this wine is best served alongside heartier fish dishes - think cod with miso, kingfish with Middle Eastern spices or a good monkfish curry - and it’s also going to be excellent with chicken satay or other aromatic Asian fare. Thai broths and noodle dishes, fresh oysters and seared scallops with prosciutto would also be highly recommended!
