El plato Mole Poblano

El vino Off-dry Riesling

Por qué funciona

Mole poblano is deep, bittersweet, mildly spicy, and highly aromatic. Off-dry Riesling works here because its gentle sweetness, low alcohol, and bright acidity cool spice, flatter salt, and refresh rich sauces. The important move is cooling chile heat with gentle sweetness and lower alcohol, avoiding the burn that comes when high alcohol meets chile heat, so the wine supports the food instead of becoming a separate event.
