Which wine to choose for vegetable tempura

Harmonize your plate: wines and vegetable tempura

Vegetable tempura, this light and crispy Japanese dish,
deserves a wine that is delicate enough to complement without dominating.
But how to choose the ideal wine to enhance each crunchy bite ?

Some exquisite pairings for your vegetable tempura

When thinking about pairing a wine with vegetable tempura,
a simple philosophy guides our steps: focus on freshness and lightness.
Here are some wise choices for the crunch of your taste buds.

• Unoaked Chardonnay: This white wine is perfect for not overpowering
  the delicate tempura batter. Its freshness and fruity notes
  enhance the flavor of the vegetables.
• Sauvignon Blanc: A classic with its hint of citrus
  and herbal notes, which pairs wonderfully with
  tempuras made from green vegetables or mushrooms.
• Riesling: An elegant choice, thanks to its refreshing acidity
  and its floral and fruity aromas. Ideal for sweet potato tempura.
• Prosecco: The light bubbles enhance the crispy side
  of the tempura, while adding a touch of sweetness.
• Gewurztraminer: For spice lovers, this spicy
  and fruity wine is perfect for tempura with a spicier sauce.
