Easter lunch wouldn't be the same without a good
wine . However, pairing fish, cod, chocolate desserts and other typical dishes of this holiday can be a challenge. Not all wines go well with fish, and to make a good choice, you should generally pay attention to the type of grape, the level of acidity and the alcohol content on the label.
Whites and rosés, for example, are usually classic companions to meals with fish . More liqueur-based wines go perfectly with sweet desserts.
Check out five labels to try this Easter below: White Smoke 2019 In general, wines made with Sauvignon Blanc are always a great choice to accompany fish. Fumé Blanche, also from Vinícola Ferreira, is a super aromatic label, with notes of passion fruit and tropical fruits, and with a striking acidity, perfect to be enjoyed with spicy dishes such as carpaccio, baked fish, fish with citrus sauces and Japanese food. The label has already won a silver medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2020, bronze at the Paris Wine Cup 2022, and silver, again, at the Sommeliers Choice Awards 2022. It can be purchased on the
Ferreira winery website for R$330.00 .
