WHICH WINE TO PAIR WITH PRAWN GREEN THAI CURRY

If you want to take your guests on a journey during a meal or if you want to treat the lovers of Asian food, prawn green Thai curry is the perfect recipe. Typically Thai, this dish consists of delicious prawns and pieces of Thai aubergine in a deliciously fragrant and spicy soup. The spicy flavours of this dish are smoothed by the sweetness of the coconut milk and cream. The Thai basil adds a spicy, aniseed-like aroma that awakens all the senses. Lime or combava zest also adds a pleasant freshness to this green shrimp curry. The brown sugar gives it a sweet note.

For a match without false notes, a wine with character combining freshness, a touch of acidity and light tannins is perfect to enhance the varied aromas of the green shrimp curry. Thanks to its atypical aromatic expression as well as its slightly tannic texture, orange wine allows Asian dishes like this prawn green Thai curry to express themselves better. This type of wine is also ideal for accompanying sweet and savoury dishes.

THE COMPLEXITY OF ORANGE WINE TO ENHANCE THIS ASIAN DISH

To enhance the flavours of prawn green Thai curry, our experts suggest an orange wine. Produced today in many countries, notably Slovenia, Italy and France, this type of wine is distinguished by its broad and varied aromatic expression. All white grape varieties can be used to make it. They are appreciated for their beautiful aromatic freshness!

Aromatic profile

The Orange Gold cuvée was born from the desire to develop a new profile with a marked freshness. It is named after the power of the sun and the beautiful sunsets of southern France. This orange wine is a blend of seven grape varieties: Chardonnay, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Marsanne, Muscat and Mauzac. The first four grape varieties give volume to this wine, while the other three favour the complexity of its aromatic bouquet. The combination of these different grape varieties is at the origin of the unique profile, subtlety and finesse of this wine.

Winemaking techniques

To make Orange Gold, Gérard Bertrand relies on an ancestral vinification technique. As with the red wine, the white grapes are macerated and fermented in whole bunches. This method gives this wine its orange colour with golden hues, but also its tannic texture. This organic wine is a reflection of the south of France, reflecting the minerality, freshness and dynamism of this terroir. Certified organic, this wine is made from organic grapes that express all the nuances of their terroir. The Orange Gold wine is also Euro Leaf certified.

WHAT IS ORANGE WINE?

After red, white and rosé wine, orange wine is the fourth colour of wine. Also known as amber wine, it is a white wine with a vinification process similar to that of red wine. Its production dates back to ancient times and began in the Caucasus, mainly in present-day Georgia. The winegrowers of this region developed a specific vinification technique. Crossing borders, this method was then adopted by other countries, notably Slovenia and Italy. Its characteristic colour led to it being called "Orange Wine" in the year 2000.

For the elaboration of this wine, the maceration concerns the whole bunches of the white grape varieties. The must macerates with the solid particles. This stage can take place over a few days or several months. It is traditionally carried out in amphorae, a method still used today by some estates. As far as the white grape varieties used are concerned, no specific rules are imposed. All white grapes can be vinified to produce orange wines with a variety of aromas and flavours. The technique of maceration of the white grapes favours the concentration of the tannins and the amber colour of the orange wine. It favours an optimal expression of the grape varieties developing unique aromas reflecting the terroir (nuts, dried fruits, orange peel). Its tannins are perfectly balanced with minerality and freshness. Thanks to its tannic structure, the orange wine is an excellent wine to keep. If you are looking for a wine to cellar, this is the ideal candidate.

When it comes to food and wine pairing, orange wine is the perfect companion for various dishes. This type of wine can even accompany an entire meal, from appetizer to dessert. Thanks to its structure and freshness, amber wine makes for original pairings. If you are looking for a wine to pair with exotic cuisine, an orange wine is perfect. With sweet and sour, spicy, Moroccan or Asian dishes, it will enhance the flavours of these dishes. Want to try new tasting experiences? Choose an orange wine for guaranteed pleasure.
