Wine and gerookte zalm pairings

Pairing smoked salmon with wine is not that difficult. You can go well with a dry sparkling wine, a ripe, full-bodied white wine or one with fine acids.

We prefer dry, ripe sparkling wine. And we don't mean Prosecco because that does contain bubbles, but Prosecco is fruity and (too) light. You are much better off choosing a Champagne or a good Cremant. If you don't have that at home, a wood-matured Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc is a good alternative and you can also opt for a tight Riesling.
