Riesling

Classic

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 Spanish Chicken Rice

Riesling's brightness lifts Spanish Chicken Rice cleanly; the acid frames the meat without crowding it.

Verdejo

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Spanish white with herbal-grassy lift and bright citrus. The lighter, brighter cousin of Sauvignon Blanc — perfect with tapas and lighter Iberian cooking.

Why it works with Spanish Rice And Chicken

Rueda's herbal-bright white refreshes lighter Spanish dishes and aperitivo plates.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Spanish Chicken

Zinfandel brings dark fruit and grip to Spanish Chicken — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
