Sparkling · Light · Dry
Champagne made from Chardonnay only — leaner, more lemony, more chalk-driven than blended Champagne. The aperitif Champagne.
Why it works with Gravalax
Champagne (blanc De Blancs)'s bubbles and acid lift Gravalax — versatile and palate-cleansing.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Gravalax
Chardonnay's body and acid balance Gravalax's flavor profile.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
Sherry's driest, lightest style — aged under a yeast veil (flor) in oxygen-free conditions. Bone-dry, briny, almondy; the perfect tapas wine, served ice-cold.
Why it works with Gravalax
Fino Sherry's concentrated style brings depth to Gravalax; pour in small glasses.
White · Medium · Dry
Austria's national white — green apple, white pepper, faint celery; lean acid, medium body, and an uncanny ability to pair with otherwise wine-hostile vegetables like asparagus and artichoke.
Why it works with Gravalax
Grüner Veltliner's body and acid balance Gravalax's flavor profile.
White · Medium · 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 Gravalax
Riesling Kabinett's body and acid balance Gravalax's flavor profile.
