Les Merveilleux Producteurs: A Natural Wine-Matched Dinner
Last month we hosted an exclusive natural wine-matched dinner at Ponsonby’s daring restaurant, Orphans Kitchen. We enjoyed four divine courses alongside a selection of the finest natural, biodynamic and organic wines from our portfolio including a De Martino Viejas Tinajas Muscat, Denavolo Dinavolo Vino da Tavolo Orange Wine, La Stoppa Trebbiolo Rosso, and the star of the evening – the 2016 Domaine des Pothiers La Chapelle. The wines had a chance to shine alongside a goose rillette with warm baguette, beef rib roast, and assorted canapes and cheese, making the evening a sensory experience of the highest order that natural wine lovers did not want to miss.
