Pairing guide
We can’t get enough of this crisp, bright and beautifully zesty Sauvignon Blanc, which offers fantastic taste sensations alongside the variety’s signature food-friendly credentials. It’s a top match for green vegetable dishes - especially those featuring asparagus, peas and leafy greens like kale - and will also match very well with citrusy chicken dishes, fillets of white fish, simple salads and pasta recipes, and anything with plenty of aromatic herbs, ginger, chilli and lime. Delicious!

The top wine styles produced in La Mancha are primarily red wines made from the Tempranillo grape, including the well-known Crianza and the top tier Reserva styles, as well as Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. However, the region also produces some white wines made from the fruity Airen grape, which is a native varietal of La Mancha and one of the most widely planted white grape varieties in the world.
