There isn’t a single “best” wine with salmon, but Pinot Noir is often considered the most versatile overall choice thanks to its bright acidity, silky tannins and delicate red fruit. For sashimi, choose dry Riesling or Champagne. For grilled salmon, Chardonnay and Gamay are excellent alternatives.
Syrah and Shiraz are two names for the same dark-skinned red grape. It typically produces dry, full-bodied wines with flavours of blackberry, plum, black pepper and spice. It is most famous in the Rhône Valley and across Australia, where styles range from elegant and savoury to rich and powerful.
