Moqueca baiana—fish, coconut milk, dendê oil, chili pepper—is one of Brazil's most complex recipes. Spicy, creamy, and briny all at once, it calls for a wine that is both lively and aromatic.
OUR RECOMMENDATION
A Rosé from Provence—Château Le Rouet or Mathilde Chapoutier. Its freshness, delicate fruit, and light minerality contrast with the richness of the coconut milk and complement the briny flavor of the fish. The chili pepper is tempered by the rosé's acidity.
