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 Squash + Mole

Austrian Grüner is the secret vegetable pairing — works with asparagus and artichoke when most wines clash.

White · Light · Dry

Italy's everyday white — light, lemony, neutral by design. Pleasant with anything; profound with very little. The best Friuli bottles are quietly excellent.

Why it works with Squash + Mole

Clean white that lets vegetable preparations stay center stage.

Rosé

Classic

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 Squash + Mole

Dry rosé bridges vegetable dishes with versatility.

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 Squash + Mole

Herbaceous white that mirrors green-vegetable flavors — asparagus, peas, lettuce.
