With warmer, lighter days ahead of us we simply can't resist leaning in to the wonderful flavours of fresh, seasonal spring veg and (dare we say it) the ever growing possibility of al fresco dining.
It's universally agreed that a carefully selected drink can enhance the flavours of your meal, so read on for our spring food and wine pairing guide.
SPRING GREENS CARBONARA
A rich and creamy dish like this needs a refreshing partner.
With its notes of green apple, mint and elderflower, our bright and zippy Origo Brut is just the thing. It’s got just the right amount of acidity to complement the richness of a creamy carbonara and boy-oh-boy will you find yourself reaching for a second glass.
ZESTY FISH
Fish usually has a more delicate flavour, and doesn't want to be overpowered with a heavy drink.
With a spring supper, we wholeheartedly recommend trying Fiora Wild Raspberry Rosé. With its pleasantly silky texture and subtle fruitiness, it'll work wonders to complement the dish.
ONE-POT CHICKEN
Our award-winning Calluna Tarragon & Basil Brut is a match made in heaven with lighter meats like chicken.
Calluna offers herbaceous notes with earthy, savoury undertones and a gentle fizz. For a spring twist, try roasting your chicken in one dish with generous amounts of lemon and asparagus.
ROAST LAMB
And finally, we couldn't miss the most classic of spring dishes: roast lamb.
A dish with bolder flavours calls for a more robust drink, so we’ll be reaching for Pomona Ginger & Cardamom Brut. With its gently aromatic palate and the subtle warmth of cardamom spice, it's a drink that can hold its own against heartier meals.
Struggling to choose? Our Mixed Flavour Pack includes all four of our distinct flavours.
Cheers!
