Wine Based Cookery & The Wines That Make Them Sing - Whole Bunch Wines Wine Tasting

We had a Whole Bunch Wines Chef whipping up some delicious dishes, with wine at their very core. This tasting wanted to shine a light on the fabled relationship between wine and food. We love wine and we love food, but when you get the combination right... wow.

Let's take a look at some top notch wine based cookery and the wines which really make these dishes sing.

We're always hosting THE BEST tastings, so make sure you see what's coming up right here.

Chateau de Caravettes Vin de Garage GSM

• One of our absolute favourites at Whole Bunch Wines. You'll also see it on the menu at the much beloved Osma. It is beautifully balanced, full-bodied, rich and expressive. The nose emanates with aromas of rosemary, mint and sweet black fruits. Then, the palate will bring forth notes of raspberry, cherry, plum and blueberry. This silky creation is a real staff favourite that we couldn't recommend enough. Read More

Rolly Gassmann Riesling

• Domaine Rolly Gassmann was established in 1967, but the Rolly and Gassmann family histories in Alsace can be traced back as far as the 17th century. This exceptional wine is packed with notes of white flowers, citrus zest, white grapefruit, white peach and apricot. Read More

Rathfinny have produced an exceptional wine from 100% Pinot Noir and you'd be a fool to miss it. Rich and complex, with a finish that'll last you until next week. Exceptional! Read More

El Coto 875m Finca Carbonera Chardonnay

• El Coto 875m Finca Carbonera Chardonnay was gentle pressed at the winery before being fermented in 100% new, untoasted French oak barrels. The wine is then aged on lees, before spending 10 weeks in oak prior to bottling. All this points to a white wine which a marked smoothness, along with notes of toast, vanilla, smoke and hazelnut. You'll also note that it retains acidity and ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours. Read More
