We have a fantastic selection of wines, spirits and ales for you to enjoy here at The Wensleydale Heifer, so whatever your tipple, there’s something for you to enjoy. If you’re not sure what best to pair with your meal, our team is on hand to offer their recommendations.
Here are some of our favourites to pair with items on our Autumn/Winter menu.
Our new pan fried sea bass dish goes beautifully with Sancerre, New Zealand Sauvignon or Prosecco. Best served with a glass of something light and fresh, the clean flavours allow the fish to come through while cutting through the butter – delish!
New to our set menu is a beautiful cajun king prawn and chorizo linguine with a rich tomato and garlic sauce, it’s got a delicious kick to it too! If you’re looking for the perfect tipple to pair with this dish, we’d recommend Col di Sasso as your red or Picpoul as your white. Both wines have good acidity to combat the spice and the tang in the tomatoes. Or, you could add a more aromatic white, like a Riesling or Pinot Gris, to cope with spicy dishes.
If you’re opting for a heavier dish like our fish piece, the Montmarin Chardonnay has more body to it. Montmarin Chardonnay still has the acidity to cut through richness, but it can hold its own against the bold flavours of smoked fish, or any deliciously rich flavours like cream, butter and cheese in the mash. A Chardonnay with a bit more oak like a white Burgundy or similar also make great accompaniments to rich fish dishes.
