What wine pairs with dolma?

Assyrtiko

white · Assyrtiko · Santorin · Grèce — 9–11°C

Santorini Assyrtiko (volcanic grape grown in kouloura — vines crown-trained on the ground to resist the meltemi and capture Aegean fog moisture) — lemon, sea salt, flint and dried herbs form the natural regional pairing for Greek dolmades; Aegean salinity echoing brined grape leaf, volcanic minerality prolonging dill-and-parsley-perfumed rice.

Rosé de Provence

rosé · Grenache, Cinsault · Provence · France — 8–10°C

Provence Rosé (Grenache-Cinsault from the Maures), pale and chilled to 8°C, accompanies dolmas without weighing them down; faded-citrus freshness respecting the delicacy of hand-rolled brined grape leaves, dried herbs echoing fresh mint and dill perfuming the rice filling, simplicity not masking the squeezed-lemon finish.

Pinot Grigio

white · Pinot Grigio · Frioul · Italie — 8–10°C

Light, neutral Pinot Grigio lets the lemon and herb flavors of dolma shine.
