Notes & Wine Advice

Wine Pairing:

Pair these flavorful clams with a crisp, dry Spanish white wine such as AlbariΓ±o or Verdejo. Their acidity and citrus notes will complement the brininess of the clams and the smoky sweetness of the paprika. Alternatively, a light-bodied Spanish rosΓ© would also be a delightful match, adding a touch of fruitiness to the pairing.
