Description

Beetroot Soup needs bright fruit (cherry/raspberry/strawberry) to pick up on the soups's sweetness.

Food friendly and fruity wines like Pinot Noir, Beaujolais, or Dolcetto will do the job.

On the white side, both a Pinot Gris and a Gewürztraminer will bring out the flavors of the soup.
