Wild Wine Club - Part One "By the Sea"

I'm pretty excited to share some highlights from the very first Wild Wine Club. For my first wild offering I teamed up with an old friend and chef from my days at Fifteen Cornwall, Adam Banks. With the help of Cornish chef Natasha Osbourne, Adam created a five-course feast around ingredients from the sea that I'd chosen to pair with each wine.

The wines that provided inspiration for the food and the location were all from Chateau Civrac, located in the iconic maritime region of Bordeaux. We enjoyed the wines against a stunning backdrop of the sea, surf and rugged cliffs at Whipsiderry beach and we were treated to one jaw dropping Cornish sunset.

About the Wines

Chateau Civrac is a winery in Bordeaux where Cornishman Mark Hellyar spends a large portion of his year making a range of modern and innovative natural wines. We were lucky enough to welcome Mark on the evening and hear him share the stories behind his creations.

A few words of thanks

Thank you so much to everyone who came, we couldn't have asked for a nicer bunch, you all made the night so special!
