Be Inspired Wine Pairing – British

Grape Vines

In collaboration with Roberto Dessanti of Euro Concepts

Complete your British menus with these wines chosen to pair with the dishes each week

Grape vines came to Australia with Britain’s First Fleet and were planted at Farm Cove where the Royal Botanic Gardens now stand. It wasn’t a very successful start to Australian viticulture as the vines perished, but successive plantings in the Hunter, Yarra, Swan and Barossa Valleys proved promising and Australia’s wine industry was on its way. This month’s wine pairing features four established varieties from four iconic Aussie regions. Cheers!

Menu 1 – Ernest Schuetz Family Reserve Chardonnay 2021 (Mudgee, NSW)

A dish as creamy as our champ-topped fisherman’s pie cries out for a buttery chardonnay. I love the oaky, rich aroma of a classic Aussie chardy but am less enamoured of a heavily oaked flavour. So I’m very pleased with this drop that walks the line nicely with a lighter flavour than the rich buttery nose suggests and a lovely soft finish.


 

Menu 2 – Reschke Bull Trader Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 (Coonawarra, SA)

If I’m drinking cab sauv I want it to be from Coonawarra, where the famous terra rosa imparts that signature whiff of green capsicum and tomato leaf. The slightly herbal notes in this Aussie classic marry well with the thyme in our Irish stew and the accompanying creamed spinach.


 

Menu 3 – Windance Sauv Blanc Semillon 2021 (Margaret River, WA)

This sauv blanc heavy blend of organic fruit has a wonderful tropical nose and a nice lemony zing on the palate. It’ll harmonise with and balance both the kedgeree and the buttery roasted chicken in this menu.


 

Menu 4 – Brockenchak Zip Line Shiraz 2020 (Barossa Valley, SA)

I love the elegance of wines from the microclimate of the Eden Valley, a higher – and therefore cooler – sub-region within the warmer Barossa. This one has a promising dark berry aroma that leads into flavours of dark cherry, blackberry and a hint of cocoa that nicely balances the richness of our beef Wellington and Simon’s gorgeous gravy!

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
