Spring Recipes that Pair Perfectly with Keel and Curley Famous Fruit Wine
With spring upon us, warmer weather and longer days are in full swing. This is the perfect time to indulge in fresh flavors and try new recipes that lean into the season. The only thing better than trying new recipes is pairing them with the fruity notes of Keel and Curley’s Famous Fruit Wine.
Known for its refreshing and unique blends of Florida-grown fruits, this Florida wine is a perfect match for lighter spring recipes. Here are three of our favorite wines we recommend pairing them with:
1. Fresh Shrimp and Citrus Salad
A shrimp and citrus salad combines light seafood with the refreshing citrus notes that are so native to Florida. This salad features shrimp tossed with orange, grapefruit, and lemon slices, accompanied by crisp greens, avocado, and a tangy vinaigrette. Pair with a citrus dressing to enhance the sweet but subtle fruit flavors in Keel and Curley’s fruit wine.
Keel and Curley’s Strawberry Blush Wine makes for a great pair as a sweet contrast to the savory shrimp and tangy citrus. With its natural sweetness and bright acidity, Strawberry Blush brings out the fresh flavors of the salad, making it a perfect pairing for a light spring lunch or dinner. If you're looking to buy wine in Florida, this one is a must-try, pushing local flavors that highlight the best of Florida’s produce.
2. Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Salsa
Grilling out is a springtime staple, especially when paired with the array of side dishes that make grilling and gathering so much fun. We recommend trying grilled chicken with a salsa made from fresh pineapple, cilantro, red onion, and lime juice. This flavorful topping mixes a sweet and tangy flavor that pairs wonderfully with the grilled chicken.
The refreshing combination of flavors pairs perfectly with the sweetness of Keel and Curley’s Dry Blueberry Wine, a light and fruity option that has just the right amount of acidity to balance the richness of the chicken and work harmoniously with the colorful salsa. This one is sure to delight at your next cookout!
3. Tropical Fruit Tart
The best desserts are those that feel decadent but are actually quite easy to put together. A perfect spring dessert to try is a tropical fruit tart. A light, citrus-infused tart that looks like far more effort than it takes to put together - a win-win! Featuring a buttery, flaky crust filled with a cream cheese filling, all you have to do is top it with an assortment of fresh tropical fruits like mango, kiwi, and passionfruit.
The combination of the sweet cream cheese and tart fruits creates the perfect balance that pairs with Keel and Curley’s Kiwi Pear wine. This Florida wine enhances the sweetness of the fruit tart without overpowering it. This pairing works beautifully for an after-dinner treat or finger food at an afternoon gathering.
