Called "One of the most achingly beautiful and dramatic places a vineyard has ever taken root" by Wine International Magazine, they don't exaggerate!
They also have one of the top restaurants in the region, so who could resist? We had a salad of spinner crab with wasabi mousse, radishes, coriander, salmon caviar, mint and lime, beautifully presented and the best crab salad we've ever had. Also had a great seared, sesame-crusted kingfish. Served over a carrot and mango confit and with a really good coconut chutney. Yes, another stupid food picture. I guess I want to remind myself of how lovely the meal was.
I like the food pics! Makes every day feel special.
ReplyDeleteWell saddle up, more to come. We just got back from a 6 course New Year's Eve tasting menu with paired wines at a place called Kazuyu in the Eden Terrace area of Auckland. This is a top restaurant and the only reservation we couldget was late lunch on New Year's Eve which turned out to be a perfect time. They have one dish that has 30 different vegetables on one plate, called "texture" - their signature dish. The food was great but the wine pairings were even better.
