Léon Beyer Food Pairing Guide (Chinese New Year Edition)
Dry Alsace wines, crafted for the table.
Singapore Chinese cuisine is defined by fresh seafood, layered sauces, gentle sweetness, and aromatic spice. Léon Beyer’s dry Alsace wines are naturally suited to this balance.
Pinot Gris brings texture and depth, making it an excellent match for richer, sauce-driven dishes. Its rounded mouthfeel complements Singapore chilli crab, curry fish head, and sweet & sour fish, while its dry finish keeps the palate refreshed. The wine’s subtle spice and weight also work beautifully with prawn paste chicken, grilled meats (烧肉), and spring rolls, where savoury flavours and gentle sweetness come into play.
Riesling, in Léon Beyer’s signature bone-dry style, is all about precision and minerality. Its freshness highlights the natural sweetness of seafood, making it ideal for steamed fish with soy or ginger, Teochew-style fish, and dim sum. The wine’s clean acidity cuts through richness in pepper crab, wok-fried seafood, and fresh oysters, mussels, and prawns, keeping flavours bright and focused.
Gewurztraminer offers a more aromatic and structured profile, well-suited to dishes with stronger seasoning and spice. Its expressive aromatics complement curry fish head, sweet & sour fish, and cereal prawns, while its structure stands up to braised duck and sambal-based dishes, where spice, sweetness, and savoury notes intersect.
This Chinese New Year, bring a bottle of Léon Beyer to the reunion table, a thoughtful choice that pairs effortlessly with seafood, roast meats, and festive flavours.
