Prawn Salad with Citrus Dressing
Pair with Manzanilla
Manzanilla, a dry white wine, pairs beautifully with this prawn salad and bright citrus dressing. The orange and lime bring out the fresh citrus notes in the Manzanilla, while the wine cuts the fat in the avocado and olive oil, making for a light and refreshing pairing.

Pairing Manzanilla with food
Manzanilla combines perfectly with fish and seafood, as well as with salted fish and cured meats.
Thanks to its low acidity, it is, together with Fino, the perfect choice to accompany salads, cold soups and dressings.
