Jersey Oysters and Champagne, oh definitely!! However there are other excellent combinations like a classic Chablis, a crispy Vinho Verde or an Albarino. One of my favourite pairings is the PAZO SENORANS ‘Val do Salnes’ full of mineral, salty and stone fruit flavours which complements the oysters and cleans the palate beautifully. Alternatively, if you like a dry sherry, Fino will be terrific too, especially if they are served in tempura butter.
For classic moules mariniéres, what can be better than Muscadet sur lie from Nantes coast which is the perfect regional pairing. If the moules are prepared with Asian style ingredients like lemongrass, chili and ginger, consider a more fragrant white like a Sauvignon Blanc, Gruner Veltliner or a Torrontes. The SUSANA BALBO Signature White Blend will work a treat here!
