This cured ocean trout dish is perfect ‘no bake’ option on a summer day. The buttery brioche works well with the fish and the zest from the lemon, and Kewpie mayo is a winner on just about anything! Match with a glass of our Scarborough Offshoot Chardonnay.

This is a dish that you will always find at a Scarborough family get-together. Merralea Scarborough is an absolute whiz in the kitchen and this is one of her favourite and easiest recipes to prepare ahead of time. You can serve this with some homemade dill pickles as suggested or even on some delicious fresh bread or in a salad.

Bread and butter pudding is one of the ultimate comfort desserts. This version uses panettone, a light and delicious Italian yeast cake studded with candied orange and lemon peel. This pudding is lovely eaten straight from the oven but just as good reheated the next day and is perfect with a glass of Scarborough Late Harvest Semillon.

These arancini balls are the perfect party snack and a real crowd pleaser. Make the saffron rice ahead for a handy shortcut and cook just before your guests arrive. They are easy to make and will keep in the fridge for up to three days before being required.

A certified family favourite, the char the barbeque grill imparts on prawns is just the best. Add to this a caper and preserved lemon butter, and some potatoes in dill for a recipe you’ll return to again and again. For a wine match, we recommend our Scarborough The Obsessive Chardonnay.

Tea smoking duck at home is much easier than you think. It can be done on a rack over a roasting tray or in a wok with a lid on and sealed tightly with foil. Alternatively, an outdoor smoker is ideal, using apple or peach wood.

The garnish on this dish is the delectable crackle, the smoked duck skin that is fried until it goes crispy. It gives a really nice texture to the dish, that follows the classic wine and food pairing of duck and Pinot Noir.

This recipe is one of Merralea Scarborough’s absolute must-haves for the family festive table. The terrine is really quite simple to make, and you can make it a few days in advance. Merralea loves serving the terrine with a red capsicum chutney, cornichons and fresh crusty bread.

A delicious dish, full of contrasting textures and flavours. The Moroccan spice really brings out the pumpkin’s sweetness.

There’s just something cosy and satisfying about slow-cooked meals, and this melt-in-your-mouth beef dish is no different. The perfect indulgence for a weekend dinner, it’s best enjoyed with a glass of Shiraz and good company.

Sometimes there just isn’t anything better than sitting down with a glass of red wine and enjoying a rich and hearty beef pie. This family favourite is the perfect mix of decadence and home-style cooking – the ideal meal for a special night in with the family.

If you’re looking for a red wine and food match that doesn’t involve meat, this vegetarian dish could be just what you’re after. A tasty combination of flavours, the hazelnuts add crunch and texture while the truffle pecorino takes it to the next level.

Our slow-cooked beef cheeks in red wine are delicious as they are but combined with homemade pastry they are even better. The pastry is very easy to work with and this recipe can be adapted to all sorts of fillings – braised lamb shoulder or roast mushrooms and olives or chicken and tarragon to name a few. The addition of liquorice root gives this dish a great umami taste that pairs perfectly with The Obsessive Shiraz.
