How to Pair Empanadas with Wine

Empanadas: An Invitation to Culinary Discovery

Empanadas, these delicious stuffed pastries from Latin America,
are an ideal playground for food and wine pairing enthusiasts. The perfect pairing can
transform a simple snack into a memorable gastronomic experience.

Food and Wine Pairing Suggestions

• Meat Empanadas: Opt for an Argentinian Malbec.
  Its rich tannic structure and notes of red fruits pair perfectly with the robust flavor of the meat.
• Cheese Empanadas: A dry Chenin Blanc will highlight the creamy notes of the cheese while cleansing the palate.
• Spinach and Cheese Empanadas: The Sauvignon Blanc, with its herbal freshness, will wonderfully complement this dish while balancing the richness of the cheese.
• Chicken Empanadas: A lightly oaked Chardonnay will bring nuances of vanilla and a nice roundness, ideal with chicken.
• Bell Pepper and Corn Empanadas: A lively and fruity German Riesling will highlight the sweet aromas of corn while accentuating the flavor of the grilled peppers.

These pairings enhance the empanadas through a complementarity of flavors.
Each wine brings a unique note that enriches the culinary experience.
