For the Fryers Cove Bamboes Bay Sauvignon Blanc, Chef Darren has conjured up a West Coast tasting plate of harissa baby squid, white mussel chowder, BBQ lobster and smoked corn and cheddar croquette with bursts of citrus.

The cool climate Grande Provence Wooded Sauvignon Blanc 2015 has been paired with squid ink and tonka bean vanilla risotto and semi cured local hake served with iced beets and a pea sprout salad.

The Shannon Sanctuary Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2016 is the perfect end to the meal with a raw honey and Mauritian vanilla semifreddo with a foundation of white chocolate nougat, passion fruit and a pistachio praline texture.
