White Wine at Akasa: A Refined Pairing with Royal Indian Cuisine
At Akasa, nestled in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District, the experience of dining goes beyond tradition — it's an exploration of taste. Every element on our menu, from the richly inspired royal North Indian cuisine to our thoughtfully curated drinks, is designed to offer a seamless fusion of culture and contemporary sophistication. Among our most celebrated pairings stands a timeless favorite: white wine.
This service page is your detailed introduction to how white wine complements the Akasa dining experience — harmonizing with our bold spice-driven dishes, enhancing sensory contrasts, and elevating each moment spent at our restaurant.
Why White Wine at Akasa is More Than a Beverage – It’s a Culinary Harmony
When you visit Akasa, you're entering a space that respects tradition while embracing modernity. The same philosophy applies to our wine list, particularly our white wine collection. Sourced from premium vineyards across France, Italy, Australia, and Spain, each bottle is selected to complement our unique culinary approach.
White wine has long been a natural companion to the spice-centric profiles of Indian cuisine. At Akasa, we go beyond the basics. Our team has intentionally curated a white wine selection that reflects nuance — a thoughtful bridge between East and West.
Whether you're enjoying our signature butter chicken, a tandoor-grilled kebab, or a delicately spiced paneer dish, there's a white wine waiting to unlock its full potential.
The White Wine Collection at Akasa
Our white wine selection offers a delightful range of profiles — crisp, aromatic, full-bodied, and elegant. Each bottle is carefully chosen to complement the diverse flavors of our menu, enhancing your dining experience. Here’s a closer look at our curated wine list:
Cantina delle Venezie Pinot Grigio 2021 – Italy, Veneto
A crisp and refreshing Pinot Grigio with vibrant citrus notes and a clean finish. Perfectly paired with light dishes like our vegetarian samosas or seafood appetizers.Gold Trees Chardonnay 2022 – South Australia
A light, fruity Chardonnay with notes of stone fruit and a hint of vanilla. This wine’s smooth texture works beautifully with creamy curries and grilled chicken tikka.Guillaume Gonnet “Le Rêveur” 2022 – France, Rhône (Viognier / Roussanne / Grenache)
A complex blend offering aromatic florals and a textured mouthfeel. This wine complements rich, saffron-infused dishes and nut-based gravies like our cashew cream kofta.Laurenz V Forbidden Grüner Veltliner 2021 – Austria, Niederösterreich
With a crisp acidity and subtle herbal character, this Grüner Veltliner enhances the freshness of dishes like palak paneer, mint chutneys, or seafood marinated in coriander and lime.Bodega Contador Predicador 2018 – Spain, Rioja (Macabeo)
Bold with vibrant acidity and depth, this white wine holds its own against richer flavors. Ideal for pairing with spicy lamb curries or biryanis that feature complex, heat-forward spices.Château de Pommard Bourgogne 2019 – France, Burgundy (Chardonnay)
A refined and elegant French Chardonnay that offers finesse and balance. It pairs perfectly with our chef’s special mains, enhancing the complexity of tandoori preparations or creamy dals.
At Akasa, our North Indian menu celebrates the complexity of spices. Each dish is crafted with care, offering layers of flavor, and our white wines complement these flavors by refreshing the palate, cleansing the taste buds, and enhancing the experience. Enjoy a glass of one of our carefully selected whites and elevate your meal to a new level of enjoyment.
Perfect Pairings: Dishes That Shine With White Wine at Akasa
At Akasa, our North Indian menu is rich in layered spices that create depth and complexity. White wine plays a key role in cleansing the palate, refreshing the senses, and enhancing the flavors without overpowering the dish.
When it comes to pairing, white wine works beautifully with a variety of our offerings. Some of our kebabs, such as Soya Chaap, Broccoli, and other vegetarian, seafood, and chicken kebabs, are particularly enhanced by the crispness of white wine. For curries, however, red wine tends to complement the flavors better, bringing out the richness of the dish.
Why Our White Wine Selection Stands Out in Singapore’s CBD
There are many places to enjoy beer near me or white wine in Singapore, but few offer the thoughtful integration you’ll find at Akasa. Here's why our offering is distinct:
1. Curated For Indian Cuisine
Many wine menus overlook how dramatically food impacts flavor perception. Our list is intentionally curated with the aromatic and spicy notes of Indian cuisine in mind — and complements other fine spirits like scotch whisky or rum cocktails for guests with diverse palates.
2. Regional Diversity
From the coastal regions of Sicily to the cool valleys of Australia’s Hunter region, our white wine list includes varietals that span the world — each with distinct character and food pairability.
3. Accessible Options
Whether you’re here for a casual weekday lunch or a celebratory dinner, we offer white wine by the glass and bottle to suit every setting.
4. Staff Recommendations
Our servers are trained to offer wine pairings based on your food preferences. Don't hesitate to ask for pairing advice — we're here to enhance your experience.
White Wine as Part of the Akasa Experience
Dining at Akasa is more than a meal — it’s an event, a ritual, a moment of shared culture. White wine plays a meaningful role in this narrative. Each glass adds a layer of enjoyment, creating balance, depth, and delight alongside our vibrant dishes.
You might come for the butter chicken, but you’ll remember how the Sauvignon Blanc made it sing.
Akasa’s ambience — relaxed yet refined — makes it a fitting setting to enjoy fine white wine without pretense. Whether you're seated indoors amidst our warm-toned décor or at our outdoor tables with city views, there’s always a reason to raise a glass.
White Wine for Every Occasion
At Akasa, we know that no two meals are the same. That’s why we offer flexibility across our white wine list:
By the Glass: Perfect for lunch pairings or casual catch-ups
By the Bottle: Ideal for group dinners or special evenings
Premium Bottles: For those who want to indulge in rare and aged selections
