The dish Hummus Platter

The wine Dry Provençal-style rosé

Why it works

Hummus is creamy and savory, with lemon and garlic providing lift. Dry Provençal-style rosé works here because its dry red-fruit core, citrus edge, and light tannin bridge vegetables, seafood, poultry, and Mediterranean herbs. The important move is staying in the same weight class as the dish, choosing a clear complement or contrast instead of fighting the dish, so the wine supports the food instead of becoming a separate event.
