The wines to match

ORANGE WINE

The skin contact that orange wine undergoes, along with the often grippy tannins and almost ‘red wine’ texture, make the style a perfect match for this boldly flavoured dish. The flavours in the wine are exotic, and the colour arresting – it’s an unusual match that showcases the versatility of this exciting and growing wine category.

Try: Maturana Wines, Naranjo Torontel, Loncomilla, Maule, Chile 2019 97

£15.25 Corney & Barrow From a 4ha plot of 80-year-old Torontel vines, fermented on skins in concrete eggs. Intensely aromatic, with peach, apricot, lychee and orange peel leaping out of the glass. The textured palate is more restrained with subtle stone fruit, orange and lemon citrus, spice and good cleansing acidity. Crisp and juicy, a perfect orange wine for people who say they don’t like orange wine. Drink 2022-2023 Alcohol 13.5%

CABERNET FRANC

Cabernet Franc is a food-friendly red grape that comes in various styles. To match a fully flavoured red meat dish such as this, look not to the Loire, but to a riper, fuller-bodied New World style. Argentina produces some stunning Cabernet Francs, with the fleshy fruit opulence and oak to perfectly complement this Latin American stew.
