Mint, rosemary and sage are just a few key herbs you’ll find in this category. Generally used to lend a specific note to a dish, herbs should not go unnoticed when talking about food and wine pairings.
The fun part is to look for bottles that either match or contrast your herbs. Mint for example can be a fantastic pairing with a herbal Italian white, such as Erbaluce, Vermentino or Sauvignon.

Cilantro Lime Chicken
Cilantro Lime Chicken is a dish that marries the tartness of lime with the earthy, herbal notes of cilantro. A medium-bodied wine with a good level of acidity can act as the perfect foil to this zesty, herby creation. The wine's acidity will echo the dish's own vibrant flavors, while its moderate alcohol content ensures that neither the wine nor the dish dominates the experience, making the entire meal delightfully balanced.
