Sparkling · Light · Dry
Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.
Why it works with Paneer Curry
Bubbles refresh the palate between spice-driven bites.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Lychee, rose petal, and a touch of ginger; medium-bodied, low-acid, and unmistakable. The wine for any cuisine where the spice cabinet did the heavy lifting.
Why it works with Paneer Curry
Lychee and rose meet garam masala, cardamom, and cumin in their own aromatic register.
White · Light · Off-dry
Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.
Why it works with Paneer Curry
Off-dry Riesling is the textbook Indian-food pairing — sweetness tames chili, acid lifts heavy sauces.
Rosé · Light · Dry
Provence's gift to summer — dry, pale, faintly strawberry-and-citrus, with low alcohol and crisp acid. Made to drink cold, with food, in the shade.
Why it works with Paneer Curry
Dry rosé bridges tomato-rich curries and tandoori smoke with ease.
