Raise a toast to fried goodness matched with wonderfully crisp and refreshing white wines guaranteed to make these summer must-have treats even tastier.

Follow our guide to bring out the best in these Aussie favourites:

FISH & CHIPS

Quality fish and chips are crunchy and textural so go for a wine with zippy balancing acidity.

Pair with: Semillon, Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc.

POTATO SCALLOPS

Scallops are rich and creamy so they’re best with a richer, textural wine style.

Pair with: Chardonnay, Verdelho or Fiano.

CRAB CAKES

Flavoursome and rich, balance crab cakes with a fresh and vibrant white variety or a crisp Rosé.

Pair with: Pinot Grigio, Vermentino or Rosé.

CALAMARI RINGS

Choose a crunchy white style with elevated acidity to enjoy with calamari.

Pair with: Riesling, Semillon or Sauvignon Blanc.

PRAWN CUTLETS

Clean flavours and the taste of the sea are complimented by savoury white or Rosé styles.

Pair with: Crisp Rosé, Pinot Grigio or Vermentino.

PINEAPPLE FRITTERS

Fritters are crunchy and sweet, so choose a wine with a supple, textural and juicy fruit profile.

Pair with: Verdelho, Chardonnay or Fiano.
