13.10.09 - Tasting to find a wine that matches perfectly with Shaun Rankin's Famous Treacle Tart - It's a tough job but someone has to do it!!!On Thursday 15th October 2009, Motor Mall celebrate the launch of the new generation of Land Rover and Range Rover and as part of this invitation only event, we have been asked to hold a wine tasting to match wines with Shaun Rankin's Famous Treacle Tart (Winner of The Great British Menu. Click here for his recipe). As part of the event, Shaun will be there to show how to recreate his dish, so what better way than to compliment it by matching a superb wine to go with it.
Today that we all had to decide on the wines we are going to showcase. What a hard life! These are the wines we have chosen:
Niepoort Tawny Dee N.V @ £6.95 per 1/2 bottle - Brings out the wonderful caramel notes in each other. Quite a masculine match.
Rietvallei Red Muscadel 2007 @ £7.25 per bottle - An inspired choice. This may become a favourite!
Paul Cluver Weisser Riesling 2007 @ £9.95 per 1/2 bottle - A clean, zesty match that cuts through the richness perfectly!
Emilio Lustau Pedro Ximenez @ £14.95 per bottle - The perfect match. Silky, deep, dark, unctous and blends so well for that melt in the mouth moment!
