Wine Advice:
Pair this exquisite dish with a crisp and dry white wine like Albariño or a light-bodied rosé from Spain. The subtle floral and fruity notes of these wines will complement the delicate flavors of the saffron-infused lobster beautifully. If you prefer red wine, opt for a light-bodied Spanish red like Tempranillo, which won’t overpower the dish’s flavors.Nutritional Information
