Wine match Delatite Dead Man’s Hill Gewürztraminer 2011, Upper Goulburn, Vic
This fruity, fragrant chicken dish is a riot of colour and flavour. It means you can have quite a flamboyant wine up next to it. This is the perfect excuse to don your most outrageous cuffs and reach for a Gewurztraminer. Made famous by the wines of Alsace and northern Italy, it is naturally floral and fragrant and can be dry or sweet. I would suggest a spicy, floral but dry, wine for this dish, as it will pair nicely with the quandong and rosella sauce, without overpowering the chicken. The Delatite has broad, exotic fruit flavours and plenty of spice, with a nice lick of acidity to leave you with a crisp, dry finish.
