Chef Ryan Squires of Esquire restaurant in Brisbane uses different flavours, textures and temperatures to create this masterpiece using locally caught mullet.Wine match Dal Zotto Pucino Prosecco NV, King Valley, Vic
Such a complex, delicate and downright intriguing set of flavours deserves the deftest of touches on the drinks side. You’d be okay with a really light, crisp white, like a young Hunter Semillon or a King Valley pinot grigio. They wouldn’t intrude on the main event too much and their citrus components would provide nice accents. I think your best bet, though, would be to go for a light-and-fresh sparkling wine. This prosecco from King Valley masters, Dal Zotto, is soft, approachable and not overly complex or powerful. It’s light airy, playful and citrus-infused – perfect for this flavour combination.
