Best before
The Chenin Blanc 2018 is a lovely clean and refreshing wine that should be enjoyed in its youth to experience the primary flavours that dominates this wine at the moment. With age this wine will show all the beautiful characteristic associated with Chenin Blanc.
Serving advice
Enjoy very cold in youth and just below room temperature when aged.
Food match
I prepared the following dish with The Chenin Blanc and it was most delicious.
Spiced-rubbed pork fillet with mango and corn salsa: recipe from - Cooking with Gas
Ingredients:
For the mano and corn salsa( prepare the salsa before the meat)
4 cobs of sweetcorn
2 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
4T coriander roughly chopped
1 chilli, roughly chopped
2T olive oil
2 limes, juiced
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To make the mango and corn salsa, blanch the sweetcorn in boiling, salted water until tender.
Once cool enough to handle, slice off the kernels and place in a bowl.
Add the diced mango and add remaining ingredients.
Preparing the pork fillet
2T smoked paprika
3T cumin
1T salt
2T black pepper
The recipe asked for 2t cloves ( I do not like the taste so I left it out)
1T turmeric ( I used turmeric root)
1tground ginger ( love ginger)
1t ground nutmeg
300g pork fillet
2T olive oil
Preheat the oven to 180 ℃ or 356℉
Mix all the spices in a bowl.
Rub the pork fillet with the olive oil first then run in the spice mix.
Sear in a hot pan for 30 seconds on each side, then finish in the oven until cooked through. Serve with mango and corn salsa and a cold glass of Chenin Blanc 2018.
Enjoy!
