From the Hills ⛰️
Our first wine is the 2019 Gutherie Wild Gruner Veltliner from the Adelaide Hills
This Austrian grape varietal is fresh & aromatic with notes of citrus, apple & pear on the palate. The Wild Gruner is all about texture. Perfect handpicked bunches were crushed and destemmed. The berries then spent time on skins before gentle pressing to old french puncheons barrels.
We have paired this rich wine with a refreshing Hiramasa kingfish crudo complimented with fennel, olives, and pistachio puree
Why Are They Paired?
The acidity & freshness of this wine cuts through the oiliness of the kingfish and is matched perfectly with the saltiness of the olives.
Berry Delicious 🍓
Our next wine is the medium bodied 2018 Yangara Noir (Grenache) from McLarenvale in South Australia
The Yangara Grenache Is medium bodied, fruit forward with notes of red berries on the palate.
We have paired this with a delicious Charcuterie & Raclette croquette with quince aioli.
Why Are They Paired?
The dryness of the Charcuterie needs to be paired with a fruit forward juicy wine, still with enough acidity to balance out the richness of the raclette.
Natural Sensation🌿
Our final tasting is the 2018 Koerner Brother Cabernet Malbec from Claire Valley, South Australia.
This wonderful wine is produced by Koerner brothers. Young Gun of Wine Award winners and wine lovers from way back. Their wines are produced from fruit grown in Watervale, Clare Valley, with the majority of their grapes coming from the Koerner family vineyard, Gullyview.
We have paired this with Chicken Ballantine over smoked mash potatoes. The chicken Is stuffed with Pistachio, prunes and chicken farce then roasted. It Is sliced and served on smokey mash potato made for that perfect bite.
Why Are They Paired?
This Cabernet blend Is medium bodied with some herbacious and grassy notes. THe chocolate and coffee on the palate is matched perfectly to the sweetness of the prune stuffing.
