Dry, clean and crisp should be the order of the day and you can match the citric acidity of lemon or lime by looking to wines that are aromatic without being over-blown such as Bordeaux sauvignon blanc with crisp green apple and citrus and pretty floral notes; a super-dry Alsace or German riesling, would play well or even a young, fresh Loire sparkler to add a bit of luxury. Greek assyrtiko with an extra lemony, saline quality would be a lovely, off-beat option. Alternatively, you can choose to counter that acidity with a fatter, slightly sweet wine such as an off-dry Vouvray or similar – personal preference should always prevail!
