Executive Chef
Darren Badenhorst has designed a superb pairing menu matched perfectly with each
of the masterly crafted wines – all in celebration of Shiraz, Grande Provence’s
wine of the month.
The evening at
The Restaurant at Grande Provence starts with the fynbos infused Lismore Syrah
2015 from Greyton paired with spicy masala compressed salmon.
The De Trafford
Syrah 2013 CSC, a merge between Overberg and Malgas vineyards, will be paired
with 12 hour confit duck ravioli coated in molten Raclette with a date and
sultana puree adding a hint of sweetness.
A hearty vine
smoked BBQ beef rib pastille holds the promise of a perfect companion for the
old world, Côtes du Rhône-style Oldenburg Vineyards Syrah 2013.
For dessert,
the fruit forward Grande Provence Shiraz 2012 teeming with ripe berries and
plums, is just what the chef has ordered for his caramalised white chocolate
pot au crème, hazelnut crémeux and salted caramel popcorn.

taking place on a Friday, why not take advantage of the Grande Provence
