Description
Filipino Chicken Curry Stew (Ginataang Manok) is made with coconut milk, ginger, garlic and vegetables.
The best wine match is Sauvignon Blanc, especially a grassy and citrusy one from New Zealand!
With its acidity and broad aromatic spectrum, it is a pair made in heaven for curry dishes rich in vegetables and spices.
If the dish is very creamy, go for a creamy (malolactic) Chardonnay.
If the dish is spicy, go for something off-dry: Riesling Spätlese, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer.
In the mood for red? go for something light and fruity.
