Matching Food and Wine: Fish Pie!

Send us a Text Message.This is not just any old fish pie. This is LUXURY fish pie. And we've got some properly luxuriant wines to match...There's nothing worse than a dry, eggy, potato-drenched fish pie. Our version uses smoked fish, chunky prawns, mustard, cream and cheddar - so we need some seriously high octane wines.No sense fooling around: this is rich white wine territory. One of our favourite styles of all. We choose two classic grape varieties that work really well across a range of styles - Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc - including a skin contact white (is it an orange wine?!) plus a leftfield white Cinsault just for fun.We've pushed the boat out with the wines because this is a treat of a dish (a good option around Christmas time too, for what it's worth).
