Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Wine Pairing:
Pair these flavorful clams with a crisp, dry Spanish white wine such as Albariño 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 rosé would also be a delightful match, adding a touch of fruitiness to the pairing.Nutritional Information
