Asparagus
Asparagus presents a unique pairing challenge due to its green, vegetal character and compounds that can make wines taste metallic. Crisp, high-acid white wines with herbaceous or grassy notes like Sauvignon Blanc and Grüner Veltliner stand up beautifully to asparagus, while Belgian Saison and Witbier offer complementary herbal notes and effervescence to cleanse the palate.
