Our marinated goat's cheese w mixed raw salad and croutons is creaminess of the cheese and the zestiness of the marinate matches the citrus and acid balance of the wine.

Cucumber and mint carpaccio . The crisp clean taste of the cucumber and refreshing mint make an excellent hors d'oeuvre.

Character

Floral, grapefruit and lime

Dishes

Smoked trout sandwiches . Our Riesling has wonderful acidity and contrasts sensationally with the slightly unctuous sweet nature of good quality smoked trout. The cream cheese, dill and lemon completes the palate and complements the acid of the Reisling.

We also recommend oysters, freshly shucked (by the vendor) with a dash of lemon to bring out the citrus flavours of the Riesling. This classic combination is one of the great wine and food matches. Our local oysters are from the clean waters of the NSW South Coast.

Dishes

BBQ beef. It's that time of year for BBQ's and this powerful wine will match the flavours of a chargrilled steak.

White Cheshire and black olives. The firm, strident flavours of the cheese and olives are a sensational match for this big Cabernet.

Character

Cherry, earthy forest floor

Dishes

Slow roasted pulled pork with coleslaw. The sweetness and lightness of the pork is complemented by the delicate, but distinctive flavours of the wine. If you like your pork in small doses, try it with Sanish chorizo tortilla
