Mushroom, Leek & Miso Tart

This month we’re featuring the Twilight of the Adelaide Hills Chardonnay for our 11^th food and wine pairing in the series. The Mushroom, Leek & Miso Tart is a simple, yet delicious recipe by another_food_blogger that is a delightful match to our chardonnay.

This Twilight of the Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2021 is a superb wine for summer. It is light to medium bodied wine when it comes to chardonnay with lighter buttery notes, neat acidity, white stone fruit, white peach particularly, white mulberry and nashi pear flavours.

We hope you enjoy this month’s recipe.
