Provence rosé at its most classic — pale, dry, Mediterranean, with strawberry, citrus, and a saline finish. The wine of Provençal lunches.
Why it works with Fish Fennel
Côtes de Provence and Fish Fennel make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Red · Medium · Dry
The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.
Why it works with Fish Fennel
Grenache's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Fish Fennel.
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 Fish Fennel
Salt air, lemon, and stone — Riesling's profile mirrors what Fish Fennel is reaching for.
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 Fish Fennel
Rosé's dry, fruity profile matches Fish Fennel without crowding it — a summer staple.
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 Fish Fennel
Zinfandel's structured tannins frame Fish Fennel; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
