Pairing
Ninety Plus Cellars
Côtes de Provence Rosé
The fruit flavors of the Ninety Plus Cellars Cotes de Provence Rose provide a very crisp flavor to pair with this honey mango salsa. The refreshing acidity of the wine helps balance out the heat from the jalapeños so none of the flavors are overpowered by the spiciness.
