Irurtia Gewurztraminer 2015

Elegance is the word that immediately comes to my mind to describe this wine from the vineyard Alois Lageder, made of gewurztraminer. From northern Italy, it has a floral nose, a spicy side and a touch of lychee. All in balance, it is a wine of high class! The palate is dry, a nice freshness on a fatty texture in perfect harmony with this soup. A real wine that warms the heart! See the product

Grisette de la Marmitte, Sutton Brouërie, 4.3%

With vegetal, pepper and lemon notes, this farm beer will complement the exotic spices of this soup. The pepper found in the beer will come to please the cucurbits, while the lemony notes will blend with the ginger aromas of the soup. Very dry, this beer will let the squash sugars express themselves. See the product
