Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for souvlaki. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Agiorgitiko
Nemea Agiorgitiko (native Peloponnese red grape, clay-limestone soils of the Nemea valley at 600m) — red cherry, plum, Mediterranean spices and supple tannins form the traditional companion for charcoal-grilled souvlaki; crisp red fruit holding lemon-oregano-olive-oil marinated pork or lamb cubes, spices echoing sweet paprika roasting on the skewers.
Côtes du Rhône Villages
The Mediterranean notes of Cotes du Rhone Villages match the herbs and grill of souvlaki.
Assyrtiko
Santorini Assyrtiko (volcanic grape grown in kouloura on Minoan-eruption ash and pumice) — lemon, sea salt, flint and taut minerality work wonders for chicken or fish souvlaki; lemon zest edge echoing squeezed lemon on the skewer, Aegean salinity holding grilled fish (swordfish or sea bream) or yoghurt-marinated chicken.
