RECIPE MATCH

Mussels and sauvignon blanc are a fine mix, although if you are tempted to have a favourite beer, please do.

Babich Sauvignon Blanc 2013, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand $19

Fresh lemon lime, grapefruit, passion fruit and green apple flavours are the perfect foil to the mussels.

Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Private Bin 2013, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand $19

Fresh, juicy, slightly sweet passion fruit and canned jalapeno flavours will stand up to the serrano chili in the dish.
