Hot Cross Buns with…
Pasqua ‘PassioneSentimento’ Passimento Bianco 2021
Hot Cross Buns and wine? YES! Exclusive to Majestic, this unusual wine from 100% Garganega grapes is gorgeously bold and fruity thanks to the grapes being left to dry to concentrate their flavours (more commonly found in red wine production). The result is a deliciously complex balance of fresh citrus flavours and apricoty, peachy richness – and is a delicious pairing to toasted buttery bun.
Easter Roast Lamb & Seasonal Veggies with…
Hey French You Could Have Made This But You Didn’t. Multi Vintage £32.00 Harrods
Certain to raise a smile, this playful poke at the fine whites of Burgundy is a serious contender AND makes a thrilling change from the traditional red often served with Roast Lamb. Blending Garganega, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes from four vintages – 2015, ’16, ’17 and ’18 – it offers unique complexity alongside structure, freshness and floral notes
Chocolate Easter Eggs with…
‘PassioneSentimento’ Passimento Rosso 2020
Thanks to the ‘appassimento’ style where grapes are picked at peak ripeness and left to dry in special crates, this concentrates all the sugars and flavours resulting in seriously lush, velvety textures and flavours AND makes a sumptuous match for chocolate, possibly even a slice of Simnel Cake too…
