Grilled squid with lemon and herb butter & winter vegetables

Grilled squid with lemon herb butter & winter vegetables is a light, aromatic dish that impresses with the subtle acidity of the lemon butter & the roasted flavors of the grilled squid. Winter root vegetables provide an earthy depth, while Mediterranean herbs round off the dish.
The ideal wine accompaniment? Vermentino, Chardonnay or Assyrtiko bring just the right blend of freshness, minerality & structure to harmoniously support the seafood and buttery flavors.
