As the festive season is well under way and the big day approaches, we continue our series with our IWC Red Winemaker of the Year. We managed to grab a few minutes with Hervé to ask him for some food and wine recommendations for this special time of year.
Christmas lunch:
A big favourite of ours is fresh foie gras pan fried then deglazed with raspberry vinegar. Served with apples cooked in butter.
Best enjoyed with chilled Viñalba Torrontés
New Year’s Eve dinner:
Traditional turkey slowly roasted for 4-5 hours with orange juice and glazed with honey. Accompanied with poached apples and pears.
Drink with Viñalba Cuvée Diane
New Year’s Day lunch with friends
When you expect lots of friends for lunch, a great dish is Tacos made with the left-over Turkey, guacamole and cheese.
Drink with Viñalba Reserve Malbec/Touriga Nacional.
Wishing you and your family all the best for a very Happy Christmas and a joyful New Year.
