Filled with salads, fruit, sandwiches, nuts and refreshments, our delicious freshly prepared packs will have Mr & Mrs heading to their honeymoon well fed and recovered! This week, we're going to pair up a beautiful local wine with a dish that makes the eyes water, it has such depth of flavour and matching elements... #drool
Our dish to match is a reversed seared rib-eye with hand cut (twice cooked) chips, Bearnaise, Jus and watercress. The wine we plan on quaffing with this delicious meal is a Cullen Mangan Vineyard Merlot Malbec Petit Verdot. "The palate offers a very attractive blend of rich plum, cherry and spice flavours backed by soft tannins. This is a marvelously balanced, fruit driven wine" The thing with steaks with a slightly fattier composition, is that they just bloody well love a flavoursome and complex wine, and this one delivers in spades. bon appetite A simple yet beautiful dish, perfectly suited for a lovely summer afternoon.
