Wine Pairing

Advice of Wine to combine

Suggest from Sommelier

This fruit is sweet, juicy, ripe, and aromatic, along with the freshness contributed by the orange juice, and requires a mine with the same characteristics. Here I would dare to suggest a mature, dry Viognier, which is aromatically very similar to the cherimoya; a mine with body and great persistence on the palate, which allows it to pair with all the fruit in the dish.
