Smoked Salmon pairs best with light and crispy whites with enough acidity to cut through the fat.
The natural acididty of Riesling works well with the Salmon fat.
If you go for Chardonnay, it should not be oaked. The oak will overpower Smoked Salmon.
The crisp acidity in Chablis (unoaked Chardonnay) copes very well with the oiliness of smoked Salmon.
If you go for Sauvignon Blanc, go for the Loire Valley (Sancerre /Pouilly Fumé).
Sparkling wines also go werry well with smoked salmon.
Make it a habit to eat and drink local. Expand your skills to understand the passion that wine communicates. Explore the range of possibilities a grape can express through culture, terroir, and climate.
