Wine suggestions

Lusco Pazo Piñeiro 2005. An Albariño grape from Galicia that is always well recommended for seafood. The Atlantic breeze and rich mineral soil produces a wine that is fresh and mineral, not as floral as the usual Albariño grape. Dónnhoff Hermannshohle 2003 from the Nahe valley in Germany near the Rhine River. It’s a fruity riesling that will work well with these prawns.
