Our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc strikes a balance between tropical and grassy, featuring an acidic backbone that can cut through the richness of the potato dish I created while not overwhelming the delicate flavours of the halibut. I served this with broccolini and oysters, both of which nicely complimented the green notes of the Sauvignon Blanc.
I really wanted to show the versatility of the 2023 Tread Lightly and how it can stand up to bold spicy flavours as found in this dish. The Gewürztraminer/Chardonnay Musqué blend really held its own and complimented the honey and cayenne. Both the wine and the dish were absolutely packed with flavour and went off like a bomb in your mouth. The Tread Lightly could also handle curries (both Indian and Thai) or be a fun pairing with sushi.
One of the main tenets of of food and wine pair is to pair like with like. This lamb dish is packed with strong flavours from the gamey meat, the tangy yogurt, and the bursts of tomato. Likewise, The Climb is a robust red with red fruits and savoury spice that can go head to head with this Shakshuka for an enjoyable experience.
