Wine with Asparagus

Wine with Asparagus

A springtime classic meets the perfect pairing

Asparagus season is a culinary highlight that unfolds with the arrival of spring. Tender stalks push through the soil, their tips reaching for the sun – a sure sign that the season has begun. From April to June, especially in the spring months, asparagus reaches peak quality and becomes the star of the table.

The art of preparing asparagus lies not only in perfect cooking, but also in choosing the right wine to complete the experience. This is where South African and Portuguese white wines come into play. Their harmonious character and fruity finesse make them ideal companions for asparagus dishes. They soften the subtle bitterness of the vegetable and highlight its delicate flavors – creating a balanced and refined pairing.

Welcher Wein zu Spargel?

Beim Weingenuss zu Spargel ist es wichtig, dass der Wein nicht zu viel Säure aufweist, um die delikaten Aromen des Gemüses nicht zu überdecken. Auch zu süßlich sollte er nicht sein. Viele südafrikanische und portugiesische Weißweine, insbesondere Chenin Blanc und Alvarinho oder auch Chardonnay, erfüllen diese Anforderungen und tragen dazu bei, dass die Spargelzeit zu einem kulinarischen Höhepunkt wird.

Ein herausragender Vertreter ist der südafrikanische Chenin Blanc, der sich dank seiner Frische und feinen Frucht ideal mit dem milden Geschmack des Spargels verbindet. Chenin Blanc zeigt oft Aromen von Zitrusfrüchten, grünem Apfel und einem Hauch von Honig, was die kulinarische Erfahrung noch bereichernder macht.

Eine weitere vorzügliche Wahl ist der portugiesische Alvarinho. Er zeichnet sich durch eine ausgewogene Fruchtigkeit aus, die perfekt mit dem Spargel harmoniert. Noten von Zitrusfrüchten, exotischen Früchten und einer dezenten mineralischen Note machen diesen Wein zu einem exquisiten Begleiter für Spargelgerichte.

Zum typischen Gericht Spargel mit Hollandaise empfehlen wir einen frischen, mineralischen Wein, wenn der Spargel gegrillt auf den Teller kommt könnten wir uns sogar einen leichten Roten vorstellen.

Zum Wohl und guten Appetit!
