Winter Food AND Wine 1

There’s a touch of feminine elegance to wines produced at Thorn-Clarke Barossa Winemakers.

As the cold weather sets in, senior winemaker Helen McCarthy and fellow winemaker, Katherine Katalinic admit to winding down with a glass of 18 year old tawny made predominantly with Grenache, Shiraz and Touriga. The warming fortified is described by Wine Spectator Insider as “Dark and sweet, with coffee and allspice notes weaving through a fairly sweet layer of tea, walnut and creme brulee” and is the perfect accompaniment to a sweet dessert or petit fours and coffee. It’s clear these women appreciate the finer things in life.

Helen and Katherine’s “office” is spectacular with sweeping views over the Little Para River to estate vineyards shrouded in winter mist. The picturesque setting is home to a recently finished, new-look Cellar Door located off the meandering Gawler Park Road, just out of Angaston.

It’s from this winery, rated five stars by James Halliday for the eighth year running, that the duo weave their feminine magic to create highly acclaimed, international award winning wines.

Helen and Katherine are part of a small operations team who enjoy working together to achieve “seamless

and elegant wines” showcasing the differences unique to Thorn-Clarke’s four established vineyards. Whether it’s fruit sourced from the Barossa Valley floor, St. Kitts or Eden Valley vineyards, the women strive to capture each region in every glass.

They laugh cheekily when Helen says working with a female winemaker is “10 million times better” than working with male winemakers. They both agree their similarities and differences complement each other perfectly.

“It is nice working with another female, just because you seem to be more on the same wavelength. We work in a very similar way...You need to be able to have someone you can have a discussion with, without getting hissy with the other one! I think it comes down to personalities that work well together...

We’ve got a couple of token males here too... It works very well.”

Both agree that a female’s palate is at an elevated level, a fact proven by scientists in the United States.

“Our threshold for flavours and tannins and things like that are usually a lot lower than men, so we see things quicker. Whether that’s better or not is another thing...

“In comparison to guys, we usually like a little bit more elegance,” said Helen.

James Moir, head chef plating up a barramundi dish.

It’s been twelve months since the doors opened at the Table Café and business is booming….so much so they are having to expand.

Building is almost complete on their new outdoor room which will create a bigger dining space and also allow for larger groups and a private dining area.

The success of the café has been no fluke. James Moir and Lynley Down have a combined 30 years’ experience in leading restaurants, cafes and catering business in both Sydney and the Barossa which means they can create a fantastic fresh menu and a unique dining experience.

Upon returning to her hometown after 20 years, Lynley and her partner James, aspired to create unique food in a modern space.

Lynley owned the renowned Romana’s café in Balmain, Sydney and this is where the couple met and it was here that a lot of inspiration came for their Lyndoch café.

“We aspired to set up a café/restaurant with a similar look and feel to the one in Balmain, including the award winning Campos coffee”.

They bought the old Lyndoch Deli and spent six weeks gutting and rebuilding the interior.

“We could see a real opportunity to set up the café in Lyndoch because there is nothing quite like it in the southern end of the Barossa.

“It has taken a lot of hard work to transition from a fish and chip shop to a place to come for fresh modern food and coffee. Some of the locals still see us as the local take-away but we are much more than that”.

The food philosophy of the Table Café is “Source local, made from scratch, cooked fresh” and this is what James has done throughout his entire menu.

From his home made sauces, beautiful cakes and gourmet pizzas…everything is made from scratch.

James has created an exciting breakfast and lunch menu, now the next challenge is developing a creative formal menu in the evenings.

As much as possible, they use produce from the Barossa.

“We use local meats from the Lyndoch Butchers, most of our wines are from the Southern Barossa and we even get fresh fruit and vegetables from our customer’s backyards”.

James also enjoys working alongside Peter at the butcher to create smallgoods that he learnt to make whilst working at the Eumundi smoke-house in Sydney.

The winter menu includes lots of slow cooked meals, beautiful homemade soups and fresh pastas.

There will also be feature nights involving food from around the world, cocktail nights and set menu lunches and dinners to show off the amazing local produce.

Catering also keeps the team busy and has come from word of mouth. “We started to get customers asking if we could do private catering for parties and it has snow-balled from there,” says James.

The next challenge is to evolve the café into a more formal setting at night with a beautiful dinner menu. Renovations will be completed over the coming weeks.

Sarah Wormald shows off her beautifully presented scallop dish.

IN THE KITCHEN WITH SARAH WORMALD Sourcing her own food has become quite important to Hewitt’s Sarah Wormald’s cooking.

Sarah enjoys cooking with seafood and catching her own fish and scallops at the beach is what she feels the happiest doing.

Her favourite chef is Luke Nguyen and Asian food is what inspires Sarah due to its clean, strong flavours.

Sarah enjoys experimenting with foods and does not always stick to the recipes, mixing and matching foods to find creative new flavours.

In the last five years Sarah has travelled to Asia to discover the local flavours and is a regular at the fresh food markets.

There are several ingredients that she

always tries to use, which are garlic, salt and seafood, although her favourite dish is Vietnamese Caramalised Pork.

Sarah recently auditioned for the hit television cooking show MasterChef and made it to the final five in the state.

“It was really intense and I was very nervous, but it was heaps of fun,” she said.

Cooking in MasterChef would have been a dream come true for Sarah, who hopes to combine cooking with her teaching career and her interest in photography.

“I just want to keep cooking and trying new things,” said Sarah of her cooking future. “I want to explore new cuisines and get them right.”

Half shelled Thai scallops 1 dozen ½ shelled scallops- make sure they are flat joined to the shell 200g butter- room temp 2 cloves garlic crushed

2 tblspn finely diced red onion 1 tspn finely chopped lemon rind 2 tblspn coriander stalk

finely sliced 1 tblspn finely diced red chilli 1 teaspoon lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste

Mix the butter, garlic, chilli, lemon rind, juice, coriander and red onion together.

Spoon onto glad wrap and roll into a cylinder shape, put in the fridge to harden.

Cut the butter roll into slices and place a slice on top of the scallop still in the shell. On a hot barbecue grill plate, place each of the scallops in its shell. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Turn the scallop over in the shell. Cook for 3-4 minutes. To serve put on a large plate with a sprinkling of coriander leaves and lemon wedges.

Breakfast

showcases the region's produce Soul with Zest co-owner, Jason Robinson with the Barossa Breakfast.

An inquiry about fried fritz kicked started one Angaston café to offer a Barossa breakfast, showcasing the heritage of the region to locals and visitors alike.

Soul with Zest teamed up with local food producers to offer the All Barossa Breakfast complete with Apex bread, Schulz fritz, bacon, vienna sausage, kassler chop and jagerbraten; house made sauerkraut, Zimmy’s pickle relish and fried eggs.

Jason Robinson, co-owner of Soul with Zest, said the addition to their menu has been popular as more want to experience the region’s culture.

“It is a very big breakfast,” said Jason.

“We wanted to design something for people to have a different option and being in the Barossa we wanted to offer Barossa local produce.”

Teaming up with the town’s butcher, who use authentic recipes to make their products, has also formed a great partnership.

“Food in the Barossa is very important,” said Jason.

“The history, the culture and it helps to continue to promote that point of difference.”

For Jason, it is one of his favourites on the menu, because it is different.

“It is a good start to the day, especially if you are touring the Barossa for wine tasting and things,” said Jason.

s family lead me Ja

h a c r r d m o Fr to oval oty and fruit... n fo yi wa the Brotherly love...Brett and Roger James may have been rivals on the field with Brett playing for the Adelaide Crows and Roger with Port Adelaide, but they are now focussed on lifting the standard of local footy as playing coaches for local clubs.

E 12 Food AND Wine Winter

As local as it gets... within hours of fruit being picked, apples and pears can be available for sale from the roadside stall and the Gawler outlet opposite the racecourse.

Picking apples in a Kersbrook orchard planted with 16,000 fruit trees is where you’ll find two AFL Premiership footballers who are continuing a family tradition that has spanned five generations.

The James family is as synonymous with growing the region’s freshest pears and apples as it is for playing top class footy; yet they take it all in their stride whilst loading another crate of fruit for delivery to their Gawler outlet opposite the racecourse.

Brothers, Roger, Brett and Paul all work in the family business which includes their father, Adrian and uncle, Neville James.

The boys grew up on the 400 acre family farm, which includes 40 acres of fruit trees, with their parents and three sisters.

“There’s six of us kids; basically, this is all we knew when we were growing up,” said Roger, the middle brother who now lives in Lyndoch with his wife and three daughters.

He and older brother Brett tend to the orchard which boasts all the classic varieties, including Duchess pears from trees planted by their greatgrandfather 100 years ago.

“It’s really a labour i n t e n s i v e i n d u s t r y. . . you’ve got to enjoy doing it because there’s a lot of hours involved.

“It’s not like grapes or other industries where machines can do it. From pruning to thinning to picking, it’s all pretty much done by hand,” said Brett.

The apple season starts in February, picking varieties like Royal Gala, Golden and Red Delicious; followed by Johnnies, Fuji, Granny Smiths and Pink Ladies before the last variety, Sundowner, ripens to perfection.

But the James’ are most known for their pears and locals are always thankful when the season begins and they can take advantage of the roadside stall in front of the fruit sheds that have been part of the landscape for generations.

With favourites like the Morettini, Red Sensation, Packham and Beurre Bosc; Lemon Bergamot and Red Anjou - the James’ can boast more varieties than most growers and their customers welcome the choice.

An average year will have the James’ picking 350 tonnes of fruit, that’s 1,000 bins all hand picked by the family.

But despite the ups and downs of life on the farm, dealing with drought years and hungry parrots, which were in flocks of thousands this season; the James family are content and the boys have fond memories of growing up on the family farm.

Having an idyllic childhood that only life in the country can offer, Roger said the orchard was the perfect playground.

“We’d spend time together, ride motorbikes around the orchards...

When you’re picking apples and all of a sudden you find a massive rotten one - so you ditch it at one of your brothers...that’s always fun,” admitted Roger.

“We’re more mature now of course!”

Their parents, Janice and Adrian must have stepped in to re-direct their active boys’ energy from flinging fruit to kicking footballs, because the brothers all found a

passion for the national game at the Kersbrook Football Club.

What followed was success on a national scale, with the boys admitting to being very competitive when it comes to the sport they love.

Roger is known in the Barossa, Light and Gawler Football Association for his role as playing coach for Barossa District. Now in his fifth season, he has already guided the Bulldogs to back-to-back premierships in 20122013.

Brett is in his eighth season as playing coach for Kersbrook and has led the Brookers to three flags in the Hills Football League.

Yet before they were firing up their respective local footy teams, Brett and Roger achieved their own glory at national level.

Br e tt p l a ye d w i th Collingwood before being drafted to the Adelaide Crows where he won back to back flags in 1997 and 1998. Roger played for rival, Port Adelaide and won a Premiership in 2004.

And youngest brother Paul, who looks after the

retail fruit outlet in Gawler, has played 100 SANFL games and shared a memorable moment when he and his brothers all played together at Kersbrook to win the premiership in 2008.

The James’ have been known to combine their love of footy with work, using the orchard as an opportunity to raise money for their hometown club.

“Kersbrook used to get the footballers out to pick for a day as a fundraiser,” said Roger.

“But I keep the Barossa District boys away - it’s hard enough to get them out to training let alone get them out here to pick apples!”

When fruit picking is complete, pruning begins and the football season is heading toward finals.

“Once footy finishes we actually get a break, but that’s when shearing starts...”

And as the orchard bursts into bloom again in Spring, the cycle begins once more - marking the start of another fruitful season both on and off the field for the James brothers.

Pleasant

e r t b n i lues w

Mt. Pleasant Farmers Market organisers are looking forward to an exciting and eventful programme throughout the coming winter months.

The United Nations has declared 2014, the Year of Family Farming with the aim of focusing attention on the role of family farming and finding ways to identify and support family farmers.

Family farms are at the heart of the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market, and weekly stalls full of fresh fruit, vegetables, seedlings, milk, home baked goods, honey, eggs and more are a testament to the resilience of local family farms.

As a not-for-profit organisation, the market has formed many partnerships within the community both with individuals and local businesses.

This year, a new cooking demonstration facility was donated by local business, Mt. Pleasant Crash Repairs, along with local wine maker, Springton Hill Wines sponsoring all cooking equipment needed for the facility.

With the donation of the new cooking facility and equipment, and adding to usual farm offerings, the market will be utilising the facility with a great line-up of special cooking demonstrations.

The cooking demonstrations will be led by market stallholders showcasing their products and produce.

The Market also celebrates the diverse cultures of Australia with authentic homeproduced curries and pasta dishes, just to name a few.

These options make life easier for busy families and with the added availability of hearty farm breakfasts, every taste is catered to.

There are even vigorous flower and vegetable seedlings for the home gardener.

All these features have made the Market a popular mecca for surrounding communities.

“Throughout the winter months and into spring as part of their education programme, the market has planned many interesting events.

“The market committee is pleased to announce that multiple World Champion Sheep Shearer, Shannon Warnest will be providing a sheep shearing demo in the July school holidays as part of those planned events,” Promotions Manager, Ms Terese Reeves says.

“Children especially will enjoy activities at themed event weekends that encourage the little ones to join colouring competitions, meet holiday characters like Go For 2 and 5 Veggie Man, or talk to local writers of children’s books.

Speakers on subjects that range from growing rare fruits and vegetables to other practical farming techniques, guarantee both education and entertainment that serve the entire community,” says Terese.

Being able to support local farmers, shop for quality produce and products, have a hearty breakfast or pastry treat while enjoying a morning in the beauty of the countryside make this Saturday morning tradition the place to be.

It’s no wonder that in just two short years, the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market has earned the distinction of being named the Adelaide Advertiser food critics # 1 Farmers Market in South Australia in 2013.

The undercover market is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. – 12 noon at the Mount Pleasant Showgrounds. (Please note the market will be closed on August 2 due to the SA Car Rally being held at showgrounds).Enquiries please phone Terese on 0418 301 121.

Raj’s

flavours of India

Mustafa Rajkotwala of Raj Curries.

As a chef, Thomas Keller said, “A recipe has no soul, you as a cook must bring soul to a recipe”, and that is exactly what Eudunda’s Mustafa Rajkotwala, or Raj, believes inspired him to sell his Indian flavours to the region.

Raj, who began to take an interest in cooking as a teenager, settled in Eudunda in 1998 with partner Sarah and has embraced selling his produce for the past seven years, in the form of curry pastes and masalas under his brand name ‘Rajkotwala’s’, at both the Barossa and Mt. Pleasant Farmers Markets.

“One of the nicest things in life is the way that we regularly stop whatever we are doing and devote our attention to eating…that’s exactly what the Barossa Farmers Market is all about…it’s a great way to meet and talk to customers about my food…markets always provide a lively and fun atmosphere.”

Raj admits that he loves to cook because he can express himself

through his food.

“All of the expressions are in the curries…sweet, sour, hot, spicy, bitter…mixing and playing with all of the flavours is really fun and I love to build up tastes and textures with my slow cooked curries,” Raj said.

Organic ingredients are sourced from a vegetable garden in his backyard and dishes are based on what is available, such as eggplant or zucchini, which he uses to create his dahl, heritage tomatoes for his tomato chutney and mint and parsley for his garnishes.

He also shops at the farmers market for seasonal vegetables to buy from local producers.

“I love using the best quality oils and ingredients and the freshest spices, all of which make a difference to the final product.”

Raj believes in the simplicity of cooking and that great ingredients create great meals.

“I love the bursting flavour that comes with biting on a freshly

SALMON FISH CURRY INGREDIENTS: ½ kg salmon loins 1tbsp mustard oil

250 gm cauliflower 2 tbsp Rajkotwala Tandoori masala 1 lime

roasted black pepper corn, the smell and taste of cumin and the sweetness and scent of cinnamon.”

Raj hopes to one day expand his business out to running cooking classes to teach people how to create his original Bohra Indian inspired dishes which are slow cooked, high in flavour and gently spiced.

“I love growing the range of things I sell and distributing to local businesses…I also enjoy catering for groups…we would like to expand more into mail order to sell my pastes.

“Cooking and food is my passion and I love sharing this with others…I find that the best way to share and express myself is through my food and cooking for other people and getting positive reactions brings me joy.”

Raj is also happy to share a recipe perfect for winter.

“I have never taken this salmon fish curry to the farmers market…it is a beautiful dish that I cook at home.”

SAUCE/CURRY INGREDIENTS: 1tbsp mustard oil 1tsp Nigela seeds 1 green chili 1tsp ginger & 1tsp garlic 1 onion

1tbsb Dijon mustard 1tsp paprika 1tsp coriander powder 400gm crushed tomatoes or puree ½ cup of fish stock (optional) if the salmon is without bones

Winter Food AND Wine 19

Winter produce guide Welcome to Winter at the Barossa Farmers Market, where it’s a great time of year to enjoy robust flavours and rich, hearty comfort food. In Winter it’s natural to turn our minds to big, chunky soups, casseroles and stews where meat is the main player but this is also the time to enjoy the variety of root vegetables our Market has to offer. A simple, delicious week night soup can be as easy as diced potatoes, pumpkin, turnip and parsnip fried off with onions, garlic and parprika, simmered in a rich stock and then finished with a big sqeeze of lemon and a blob of sour cream.

Divine!

To help with your winter menu planning, here’s a general guide to some of the delicious winter produce that will start to make itself known at the Barossa Farmers Market over the next few months...

POTATOES - (and a whole lot of advice on the best one for the job from Syd) FENNEL - beautiful when simply roasted in the oven with a glug of good olive oil BRUSSELS SPROUTS - Yep, you either love them or hate them and we LOVE ‘em!

HEALTHY, NOURISHING LEAFY GREENS - like kale, spinach, chard and Silverbeet.

BROCCOLI, CABBAGES AND CAULIFLOWER - Recently I’ve been making mash with half potato and half cauliflower - nutty, smooth and very moorish PUMPKIN - for the eternally popular pumpkin soup LEEKS AND CELERY BEETROOT - all colours of the rainbow.

AND DON’T FORGET FRESH WINTER FRUITS zesty lemons and oranges, apples, nashi, pears, quinces and rhubarb.

Winter is a great time of year for slow roasting, long, gentle simmers and hours of poaching with spices and a splash of wine.

As always, our stallholders are a great source of advice and inspiration and are always happy to impart a few words of wisdom.

So enjoy the rich, earthier flavours of Winter and we’ll see you at the Market soon!

The Story of Ekoo Chai Tea

Kerry had been making chai for her friends and family well before it became a popular tea choice here in Australia. She experienced her first cup of what she calls ‘the real deal’, whilst learning authentic yoga and meditation, many years ago.

Kerry has often been asked to give away the secrets of her chai - which she happily did... however – the response was often “it’s just not the same as when you make it!” The market place was dominated by commercial blends which had little authentic spice and lots of sugar, fillers and flavour enhancers. This got Kerry thinking... how to create a product that delivered ‘the real deal’, yet could be made by anyone – easier and more conveniently than just the slow pot tradition?

Kerry’s was already hand crafting the Divine ‘eKoo, energy

th d Kerry Wor You can fin e th at o ko of E mers Barossa Far Market.

and organics’ skincare range and suddenly it made sense to add another of her passions to the eKoo portfolio – hand blended, organic herbal infusions and a real chai spice blend ... hence the much loved ‘eKoo Yogi Chai Spice’ and ‘eKoo Yogi Chai Spice with Vanilla’.

Pretty much every Saturday morning at the Barossa Farmers Market, you will find a very different and alluring spicy smell, pleasantly kissing the air of the vibrant market food space! Follow the scent to the very popular chai pot brewing away at the very colourful ‘eKoo’ stall (not far from the delicious breakfast bar). Kerry will always offer you just a taste if you’re not sure what to expect! Be prepared – her chai really is like no other!

Whether this is due to the 100% pure organic, freshly ground

blend Kerry has concocted... or the air of genuine love of life Kerry exudes... well – go and see for yourself and taste something delicious, healthy and nourishing to the soul! Kerry’s food (and life) philosophy is simple really – “live it and make it real – otherwise, why bother?!”

The good news beyond your morning market cuppa – you can take some of her magic blend home with you and she’ll teach you the things to know to make your chai brew that something special in every moment!

Oh – PS – the Saturday morning chai pot contains the & Rawblend, pure ‘eKooOrganic Yogi Spice’ to nourishmilks, you…lovely organic non-dairy body, amind, soul,dash joy of local honey, good simple!it!

It’s the perfect start to the day, with some warmed Jersey Fresh milk and a blob of Hilgah Honey.

In addition to the Winter Warmer, Lee has been busy formulating

a bespoke Market Blend muesli, made especially for our Market Breakfast Bar but now available for you to take home as well.

If you follow a Gluten free diet, don’t despair there’s a Fleming and Ware muesli for you as well.

The Gluten Free blend with raw nuts has been perfected over time with lots of positive feedback from loyal Market shoppers.

Drop past the Fleming and Ware stall a pick up a packet of muesli for your Winter breakfast table.

Tathra Homestead Kim Darmody, of Tathra Homestead, is passionate about his range of dukkah varieties.

Kim’s original recipe of Almond and Macadamia Dukkah continues to be a favourite of customers. The Ethiopian Spiced Dukkah with almonds and pistachios and an Ethiopian berbere spice mix, which Kim developed from his love of spicy food, has a lovely zesty flavour with a hit of chilli.

Tathra’s latest dukkah, a nut free variety made with roasted chick peas, was created for those with nut allergies who still wanted to enjoy the experience of dukkah. None of the range has sesame seeds, as many people are also allergic to them.

All the dukkah is carefully handcrafted by Kim, with the nuts being oven roasted and the spices dry fried, to fully develop all the flavours.

Special orders can be negiotiated, with one c u s to m e r b e i n g v e r y

pleased with his 200g spicy dukkah being made with macadamias instead of almonds.

Fo r cr u m b i n g , u s e Tathra Homestead dukkah in any situation where you would traditionally use breadcrumbs. We love making chicken nuggets, eggplant schnitzel, crumbed tofu or lamb cutlets. Set up three bowls: seasoned plain flour, lightly beaten egg and dukkah. Coat your chosen item (e.g. chicken pieces) in the flour, then egg, then dukkah. Cook on the barbecue and serve with your favourite condiments.

Kim Darmody, of Tathra Homestead.

There are many uses for Tathra Homestead’s dukkahs: snacking, seasoning, crumbing and more - a fact sheet with plenty of ideas is available from the Tathra Homestead stall at the Farmers Market every Saturday.

Imperial Stouts were so called to denote that they were a brewers strongest stout. Since the early 20th century they are often called Russian Imperial Stouts because they were so popular in the courts of the Tsars. Our Imperial Stout has a bias to chocolate malt over Roast barley. A new world approach with Cascade hops helps to keep a balance while there is still quite noticeable alcohol warmth. Go on unleash your inner emperor!

Our first vintage ale “V13” is limited to just 700 bottles individually numbered. Alcohol warmth, some malt sweetness, moderate hopping. Lots of oak and red wine flavours, sherry even?

approach to an Susan Papps is proud to sell chickpeas and lentils sourced from her hometown on the Yorke Peninsula.

It is the Nuriootpa cellar door of Yelland and Papps, where you wouldn’t expect to find these little South Australian goodies, but it is an enterprise that celebrates all things fresh and South Australian.

“I used to give them away to customers but then I discovered that people that came here are very like minded like us and would go nuts over it,” said Susan.

They are usually sourced from the supermarket in tins or if fresh, make their way to the Far East countries of the world. Susan has found many are excited by the discovery of this produce locally.

Susan’s dad, where the label My Dad’s Lentils comes from, can’t comprehend what’s exported by the farmers on the Yorke Peninsula have become a pantry staple for many.

“I thought, why don’t we eat our own instead of buying it in a can or where you don’t know where it is from,” said Susan.

“I can’t believe how many

international ingredient

people have taken to it and my dad can’t believe it either.”

Lentils and chickpeas are a “powerhouse” of nutrition and are reported to have a number of health benefits. Lentils are great in salads or can be added to casseroles and soups during winter while chickpeas are a popular choice for vegetarians to add to salads, curries, soups and dips.

“People sometimes think they are just for winter, but they are beautiful in summer and it is nice to see so many recipes using lentils,” said Susan.

For Susan’s family, it is the chickpeas that are a real hit where she first boils them before roasting in salt or honey, creating snacks for the children.

“People want to know where everything is coming from and people should know what they are putting into their mouths,” said Susan.

“It is nice that local chefs and even ones in Adelaide use these… they think they are better than the French lentil they buy in.”

LENTILS AND CHEESE Toss cooked lentils with crumbled goat’s cheese and plenty of torn basil. Dress with vinaigrette mixed with a touch of finely chopped spring or red onion.

BASIC BROWN LENTILS Ingredients: 500g brown lentils, washed and drained 1 onion, quartered 1 clove of garlic 1 bay leaf

1 large sprig of thyme Salt Freshly ground black pepper Lemon juice Butter or olive oil Freshly chopped parsley

Method: Place lentils, onions, garlic, bay leaf and thyme in a saucepan and cover generously with cold water. Cover and bring slowly to boil. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer and test lentils after 20 minutes. If tender, drain into a colander and discard onion, garlic, bay leaf and thyme. Return lentils to rinsed-out pan and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Stir in butter and parsley. This makes a great accompaniment to poultry and game, roasted squab pigeon, guinea fowl, qual or wild rabbit. Add ½ cup of roasting juices or well flavoured stock and a knob of butter to the hot lentils. A slosh of port, Muscat or fortified wine is good with stock and lentils as well. Bacon or ham sautéed with an onion can also be added to the lentils and stock.

Warm up this winter with a delicious meal next to our blazing log fire...

LENTIL SALAD Toss cooked lentils with olive oil, finely chopped onion, garlic and lots of parsley or coriander.

Season with salt and pepper and serve.

QUENCHING A THIRST FOR

creativity From Seppeltsfield cellar hand to chief winemaker at Grant Burge Wines, Craig Stansborough has learnt his craft through hard work and determination and loves bottling his “ideas and visions” for all to enjoy.

Craig Stansborough is convinced he has the “best job in the world” as he reflects on his successful career in winemaking.

“I still get a kick out of opening a bottle of wine I’ve never had before,” he said.

The 2014 Barons of Barossa Winemaker of the Year has just completed his 21st vintage with Grant Burge Wines where he began as cellar manager before working his way up to chief winemaker.

Craig admits that winemaking wasn’t the first occupation he thought of as a young man, growing up in Gawler and fresh out of High School.

“I did everything from working in a factory to roof tiling...

“I had an interest in wine, but didn’t think it would end up as a career. Then I landed a job as a cellar hand at Seppeltsfield - my first job in the wine industry. Basically, after about day two that was it; I knew what I wanted...I found it pretty intriguing.”

Craig found himself in an environment conducive to learning. One filled with characters, “traditional” cellar hands, “interesting, genuine people” who all helped him embrace his new found passion for the wine industry.

“I found the people lovely...I was lucky. I was there with Nigel Dolan and James Godfrey, Wendy Stuckey, Ian Shepherd...”

Craig’s drive, focus and commitment to the industry caught the eye of winemaker, Grant Burge who offered him a job with his winery in 1993. What followed was a meteoric rise within a growing company that was developing into a another success story for the Barossa.

But the Williamstown father of four has never lost sight of the bigger picture and is philosophical as he shares his thoughts on the industry he loves working in.

“Of course there’s your ego and you want to make something that’s great, but I think sometimes we take ourselves far too seriously.

“I’m not the sort of winemaker that thinks it’s a matter of life or death. I’m not a cancer research scientist, I’m not a doctor; I look in awe at people who find cures... who have to make decisions on people’s health and life every day.

Between The Vines...

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to “Between The Vines”......a quick glance at our Barossa Valley Winemakers - their lives, their loves and - of course - their liquid!

We read and see the photos within the pages of ‘The Leader’ week in week out - the accolades our winemakers and the wineries they represent - winning copulas awards domestically and internationally - using their skills and the amazing fruit they work with concreting the fact that the Barossa is such a special place with many talented people.

The questions posed are to show you the human side and quirkiness of the people behind the bottle...

The first, is a character in his own right - intelligent, cool and precise, who truly has the love and passion for what he does. When asked how he does it, is more than happy to convey advice, time and knowledge.

This is a common trait I have found within the wine industry - the willingness to work together, the sense of camaraderie and passion to produce a world class product.

As a winemaker, they match their wines with some of the best chefs in the world...WHAT A GIG! Eating and drinking the best the world can offer... but in their own right, they understand and appreciate what chefs do and there is a little bit of chef in all of them.

So here’s a recipe for you to enjoy and hopefully you do this with their wine.

Bon Appetite and cheers, 28 Food AND Wine Winter

Damon

“I’ve had some personal experience... my first wife passed away with a brain tumour. Once you go through stuff like that, your perspective is brilliant.

“It’s also important to know there are so many people employed in the company that are relying on the winemakers to do a good job so the sales people can sell and people can stay employed.That is really critical, especially in this environment at the moment...”

Craig is a hands-on, creative winemaker who likes to “push the boundaries” and work with grapegrowers whilst still being mindful of those who appreciate the award winning Grant Burge style .

“Certainly, one thing I do as chief winemaker is to push our guys to push themselves. To make sure they try different things... I don’t think we want to be constrained... I’ve got a pretty vivid imagination when it comes to some stuff, I picture things in my head and try and bring them to fruition.”

This creativity is allowed full reign with Craig’s own label, Purple Hands - a project he and his friend started in 2006.

“We don’t want the history - the art of fortified winemaking to die.”

And as a Barons of Barossa Winemaker of the Year, Craig is also very keen to promote and market the Valley.

“I’m very motivated in ensuring that the Barossa doesn’t get pigeon holed into one particular style.

“There are ways and means of making beautifully elegant wines from this region and there are already lots of guys doing that.

But somehow, we get stuck in this big alcoholic, big wood type scenario... There is plenty of scope for making beautifully structured, elegant wines that are great drinks.

“In the end, to me, that’s what wine is... it needs to be a really great drink.”

“Grant is very generous in allowing me to do that.

It just keeps things a bit interesting...mucking around with other varieties. You ask any winemaker, they all have lots of ideas...visions of what they want to do and what a wine should look like. Sometimes, you just want to branch out and do something a little bit different.

Craig is appreciating the resurgence of the old grape variety, Grenache grown in his own vineyard.

“I feel we’re sort of part of that in terms the style we make for Purple Hands.... “Pinot-esque”, lighter styles. Making really elegant wines which I think some people out of the Barossa don’t think is possible.

“It’s been really successful for us in terms of Halliday ratings. We got voted in the top ten new wineries in the country last year, we’ve had wines at 96 points.”

Trying out new ideas whilst maintaining traditions keeps Craig motivated.

He also has a passion for fortifieds and the team at Grant Burge is expanding their range which includes a 20 year old tawny, muscats and sherries.
