PONTING 'THE PINNACLE' MCLAREN VALE SHIRAZ

HONOURS THE MOST FAMOUS OF ALL CRICKET BATTLES, THE ASHES.

This wine honours the most famous of all cricket battles, the Ashes. Ricky’s career against England was uncompromising, with no quarter asked or given of his opponents. From 35 tests played, he captained 18, scored eight centuries and 2,476 test runs.

Distinctive McLaren Vale characteristics shine through The Pinnacle. Sweet, soft, warm tannins whilst the palate is rich berry fruits, black pepper, nutmeg and cloves. A big, rich and complex Shiraz, with finesse, texture and elegance. This wine pays homage not only to McLaren Vale, but to the pinnacle of the cricketing world, the Ashes.

T-BONE STEAK WITH TRUFFLE MUSTARD RECIPE

We all have our favorite pairings, but there is one combo that beats them all – red wine & steak. Wine with a steak is a great way to elevate the flavors of both your drink and your food.

Try out this great recipe for a T-bone steak made with Random Harvest Australian Truffle Mustard. A quality, juicy succulent T-Bone steak needs, a very good quality mustard to elevate the flavours!

Tip: If the pan isn’t big enough for all your steaks, don’t be tempted to squeeze them in anyway. Cook them one or two at a time then leave them to rest as you cook the remainder of your batch wrapped in foil.

Ingredients

2 T-Bone steaks
2 tbsps. Random Harvest Australian Truffle Mustard
Salt and pepper
1 garlic clove sliced
2 tbsps. of olive oil
A sprig of rosemary

Method

Salt and pepper your steaks and smother them with the Random Harvest Australian Truffle Mustard.
Heat a heavy base frying pan and add the oil.
Once the oil is almost smoking add your steaks to the hot pan carefully.
Add the garlic on the side and the rosemary sprig to infuse with flavour.
For medium rare cook for 3.5mins on each side.
Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 to 8 minutes, if you don’t have a thermometer.
Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. Cut steak from the bone and carve meat across the grain.
