Wine Pairing for the recipe of
Blue lobster in his bowl, potatoes „grenaille“ and young porcini mushrooms I would suggest a sauvignon blanc and particularly the Sliding Hill Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. In its youth the wine is moderate straw in colour with green tints. Aromas are reserved and quite exotic with hints of lime, peach, honeysuckle, passionfruit and gooseberry. Ripe flavours of sweet gala apples, lime and rich tropical fruits predominate in a lush textured style with a long dry grainy finish. The freshness of this wine fits perfectly with the zesty characters of this dish and the balance of tropical fruit on the palate offers a good match for the fleshy lobster meat. The wine will drink superbly when young. To be consumed wherever there is sun, surf or seafood. - Bradley Mitton
