CLASSIC WINE PAIRING

The fruity aromas of Bordeaux Clairet pair up harmoniously with the tomatoes and strawberries; while the tartness of this refreshing wine will carry the vivacity of the vinegar and traditional wholegrain mustard.

ORIGINAL WINE PAIRING

If you're more of a white wine drinker... go for a dry white like Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux with vivacity that will enhance the quinoa and mint pairing.
