On the Grapevine

Light, bright, and beautifully simple. This snapper crudo shines with blood orange, mandarin, a touch of fresh chilli, and a fragrant drizzle of yuzu olive oil, and pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Rich, earthy, and effortlessly comforting, this mushroom ragu over Parmesan polenta becomes pure rustic elegance, especially alongside our Private Bin Pinot Noir, whose bright fruit and gentle spice mirror the dish beautifully.

This bowl is all about simple comfort with a fresh lift, tender roasted duck, sticky hoisin, bright herbs, and crisp greens. It’s an easy weeknight dish that still feels a little special, especially with a chilled glass of Private Bin Pinot Gris alongside.

A refined expression of Marlborough’s renowned Wairau Valley, 2025 is and a standout year for this much-loved release.

These smoked salmon blinis are very easy to make, and you can either whip up your own blinis from scratch or use store-bought for extra convenience. They’re the perfect starter to enjoy with a sparkling wine such as our Sparkling Cuvée Brut, or with a dry rose such as our Cellar selection rose.

With its silky lemon filling and clouds of golden meringue, this dessert delivers indulgence with a fresh citrus lift. Serve with a chilled glass of our Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc for the perfect finish.
