Mussels can be a delightful dish when paired with the right wine. Their briny and slightly sweet flavor can complement various types of wine.
Sauvignon Blanc: Its acidity and herbal notes often work well with the brininess of mussels. Trebbiano or Ugni Blanc: the freshness and acidity of this grape matches well with mussel dishes. Chardonnay: A buttery Chardonnay can complement the richness of creamy or garlic-infused mussel dishes. Rosé: Its light and refreshing qualities can complement the flavors of mussels without overpowering them. Poulsard: A lighter red wine with its subtle flavors can be a surprising but enjoyable match for mussels.
You may also consider Riesling or Gewurtztraminner when you make a more spicy variant. The key is to find a wine that won't overwhelm the delicate taste of the mussels but rather enhance their flavors.
