A grilled or baked quail with garlic and rosemary would be combined with a light, fresh red wine. No heavy tannins or jam, but fresh red fruit and nice acids.
That could be a Beaujolais, or perhaps even better: a Pinot Noir. But there are plenty of more surprising alternatives that fit the same flavour profile, for example from Austria or Germany.
2023 | Macedonia | Tikveš
Macedonian red from the Kratošija grape. Considerably better known as Primitivo in Italy and Zinfandel in the United States. Floral, fruity and juicy.
2022 | Austria | Neusiedlersee
It is rumored that Sankt Laurent is illegitimately related to Pinot Noir. This wine gossip could well be true.
