Albarino

Classic

White · Light · Dry

Galicia's gift to summer — citrus, peach, salt air, and acid like a knife. Made for shellfish, paella, and any dish that involves the sea.

Why it works with Seafood And Chicken Paella

Galician white with salt-and-citrus lift — the seafood-tapas pairing every time.

An uncatalogued varietal or single-vineyard wine. Taste before pairing: assess color, weight, and any obvious sweetness, then plate accordingly.

Why it works with Chicken & Seafood Paella

Bella Luce and Chicken & Seafood Paella make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

Rosé · Light · Dry

The classical red blend — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and friends — from southwest France. Black currant, cedar, tobacco; serious structure; rewards patience and decanting.

Why it works with Chicken & Seafood Paella

Bordeaux Rosé's strawberry-and-citrus is a natural partner for Chicken & Seafood Paella — easy, food-friendly, summery.

Cava

Classic

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 Seafood And Chicken Paella

Spain's answer to Champagne — the everyday sparkler for tapas and seafood.

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Chicken & Seafood Paella

Sauvignon Blanc's brightness lifts Chicken & Seafood Paella cleanly; the acid frames the meat without crowding it.

Red · Medium · Dry

Spain's signature red — bright cherry, dusty earth, and a touch of vanilla from American oak. Soft enough to drink young; structured enough to age beautifully in the right cellar.

Why it works with Seafood And Chicken Paella

Rioja's classic Tempranillo — cedar, leather, dark cherry — built for Spanish ham, lamb, and stewed dishes.

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 Seafood And Chicken Paella

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