2020 Passionfruit Estate Auxerrois

We recently tried our 2020 Auxerrois that was bottled at Jonathan Edwards Winery. We are trying to see what foods will go well with this wine. Auxerrois is a sibling of Chardonnay, both according to DNA analysis descend from a cross between Pinot noir and Gouais blanc.
The wine was pale yellow in the glass. This wine, while related to Chardonnay exhibits a very different flavor profile. We whole cluster press the grapes and then ferment it in stainless steel barrels where it sits on lees for at least a year.

Here are some numbers from this vintage:

Variety	Harvest Date	Brix	pH	TA g/L	Lbs	Gals	# Cases 750 mL	# Cases 375 mL
Auxerrois	9/17/2020	19.0	3.07	7.5	1670	133	36	21

We feel that the Auxerrois is a good pairing with Asian food. We made eggplant kabayaki. This is eggplant cooked to resemble the teriyaki style Japanese unagi (eel). The pairing went very well! The side was bok choy that was blanched in boiling water then sauteed with sesame oil with a light teriyaki sauce. While the bok choy did not clash with the Auxerrois, we thought that the sesame oil over powered the flavor of the Auxerrois. My husband liked the eggplant made this way. We will try another side that might be a better match in our quest to find the perfect Auxerrois-food pairing.
