Which wine goes well with tomatoes? Our Alsace pairings
Pairing tomatoes and wine can be challenging, especially given the variety of tomato-based dishes available. Which Alsace wines would be best suited? Here are a few suggestions for successful wine pairings with tomato-based dishes, highlighting some delicious options from French cuisine.
Which wine goes well with a tomato salad?
Particularly popular in summer for its freshness and acidity, raw tomatoes are a regular ingredient in our salads. For a successful food and wine pairing, it is best to pair them with a light rosé or dry white wine such as Sylvaner des Chasseurs de Lune, whose freshness and crispness will echo the tangy notes of the tomato salad.
Alsace wines and stuffed tomatoes
To bring out the best in stuffed tomatoes, opt for a fruity red wine with light tannins, such as Pinot Noir Rayon de Lune. With its subtle red fruit aromas and finesse, this wine is in perfect harmony with the flavor of tomatoes, adding a touch of refinement to this classic French dish. A combination to be savored without hesitation.
And with tomato-based dishes?
Lasagna, ratatouille, chicken basquaise... these are just some of the delicious dishes we love to eat. If you're a fan of these comforting dishes, we recommend a red wine with silky tannins such as our Pinot Noir Exception. Dry white wines such as Pinot Blanc or Riesling des Chasseurs de Lune are the perfect accompaniment to tomato and melted cheese dishes.
Whether you prefer a dry white, a delicate red, or a light rosé, Alsace has the perfect wine to enhance your tomato dishes. Discover all our tips for pairing another popular tomato-based dish: pizza! Bon appétit and enjoy!
