1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:12,933 Speaker 1: from News Talks at be Time. 3 00:00:12,973 --> 00:00:16,053 Speaker 2: Now though to catch up with master somalier Cameron Douglas, 4 00:00:16,093 --> 00:00:19,133 Speaker 2: who for this week's Wine pick has chosen a Paddy 5 00:00:19,173 --> 00:00:23,053 Speaker 2: Borthwick penigree from White It Upper twenty twenty five is 6 00:00:23,093 --> 00:00:24,773 Speaker 2: the vintage and Cameron's with us now, Good. 7 00:00:24,693 --> 00:00:27,333 Speaker 3: Day, Cameron, good morning, Happy New Year. 8 00:00:27,213 --> 00:00:30,133 Speaker 2: Happy New Year. Tell us about the Paddy Borthwick penigree. 9 00:00:30,933 --> 00:00:35,053 Speaker 3: Well, Paddy Borthwick is one of those fabulous characters in 10 00:00:35,053 --> 00:00:37,693 Speaker 3: the New Zealand wine sector. He's got about thirty nine 11 00:00:37,773 --> 00:00:40,933 Speaker 3: vintages under his belt but still looks twenty five years old, 12 00:00:41,413 --> 00:00:47,053 Speaker 3: so he's he's an exception in an exceptional human being 13 00:00:47,813 --> 00:00:54,053 Speaker 3: and lives and works on the Tafungus Station, but also 14 00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:59,533 Speaker 3: has a winery and produces some fabulous wines. The penagree. 15 00:01:00,413 --> 00:01:03,653 Speaker 3: I think penogree should always be drunk young, so twenty 16 00:01:03,693 --> 00:01:06,973 Speaker 3: twenty five is immediately in its perfect drinking window. And 17 00:01:07,053 --> 00:01:09,213 Speaker 3: I know there are exceptions to that kind of rule 18 00:01:09,253 --> 00:01:12,533 Speaker 3: when it comes to wine. But what you're looking for 19 00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:16,853 Speaker 3: with penigree is something that's got a heartbeat of fruit 20 00:01:17,333 --> 00:01:20,293 Speaker 3: surrounded by acidity and a little bit of white spice, 21 00:01:20,293 --> 00:01:23,533 Speaker 3: and I like this ticks all those boxes of white 22 00:01:23,533 --> 00:01:27,813 Speaker 3: flowers and pears and apples and even a little dandelion. 23 00:01:27,973 --> 00:01:31,653 Speaker 3: Note I call with that floral stuff and white pepper 24 00:01:32,293 --> 00:01:35,533 Speaker 3: good medium weight, nice satin cream texture and mouth feel. 25 00:01:35,613 --> 00:01:37,613 Speaker 3: And it's just one of those wines that you can 26 00:01:37,893 --> 00:01:40,453 Speaker 3: chill down a little bit in your refrigerator and reach for. 27 00:01:40,573 --> 00:01:41,733 Speaker 3: It's just just delicious. 28 00:01:41,813 --> 00:01:44,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's fantastic. So what would you match it with? 29 00:01:46,533 --> 00:01:50,253 Speaker 3: Well, I'm thinking that people, even though we're still in 30 00:01:50,253 --> 00:01:52,453 Speaker 3: the middle of summer, start to think about what can 31 00:01:52,493 --> 00:01:55,773 Speaker 3: I have that's gonna set me up for autumn a 32 00:01:55,813 --> 00:01:58,933 Speaker 3: little bit. So I've chosen a just that's quite heavy 33 00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:01,973 Speaker 3: and rich, and it's a chicken leak and sweet potato bake. 34 00:02:02,093 --> 00:02:05,693 Speaker 3: So it's kind of like a pie without pastry. But 35 00:02:05,813 --> 00:02:10,253 Speaker 3: because you're using cream and hooda cheese and Dijon mustard 36 00:02:10,253 --> 00:02:14,493 Speaker 3: and in that to add richness, you can drop those 37 00:02:14,653 --> 00:02:17,253 Speaker 3: ingredients out basically, and you can even drop the cream 38 00:02:17,293 --> 00:02:20,213 Speaker 3: out if you want to. But what a pinogree does 39 00:02:20,333 --> 00:02:23,693 Speaker 3: is it likes to swim around the flavors of creaminess 40 00:02:23,893 --> 00:02:27,693 Speaker 3: and the easy protein that chicken offers, and if you've 41 00:02:27,733 --> 00:02:30,653 Speaker 3: got something like Dijon mustard, then pinogree. The sweetness of 42 00:02:30,693 --> 00:02:33,493 Speaker 3: fruit pinotgreen contrasts that really rather well. 43 00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:36,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you like that, the kind of fattiness 44 00:02:36,813 --> 00:02:40,933 Speaker 2: being offset by the penogree, then a big knob of 45 00:02:40,973 --> 00:02:46,733 Speaker 2: butter on a freshly grilled corn on the cob might 46 00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:47,653 Speaker 2: be just the trick. 47 00:02:48,293 --> 00:02:52,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, now you're speaking my language, you know, just fresh corn, butter, 48 00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:55,933 Speaker 3: lots of salt and glass peenogree can't miss. 49 00:02:56,133 --> 00:02:59,373 Speaker 2: And how was the twenty twenty five vintage and white another. 50 00:03:00,853 --> 00:03:03,093 Speaker 3: Overall? I have to say it was probably a blessed 51 00:03:03,173 --> 00:03:07,293 Speaker 3: vintage there. There's always a no mollies when it comes 52 00:03:07,293 --> 00:03:10,373 Speaker 3: to weather in New Zealand these days. And so yes, 53 00:03:10,453 --> 00:03:14,133 Speaker 3: the vineyards dodged a bullet, but they dodged it rather 54 00:03:14,173 --> 00:03:17,413 Speaker 3: well and they've got higher volumes. They had a good 55 00:03:17,413 --> 00:03:20,613 Speaker 3: fruit set which gave them higher volumes. So it's above 56 00:03:20,613 --> 00:03:24,213 Speaker 3: average quality overall. And you know it's a small team 57 00:03:24,293 --> 00:03:26,893 Speaker 3: at Paddy Borthwick. Well, you know, he might have thirty 58 00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,293 Speaker 3: nine vintages under his belt, but he's got an assistant 59 00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:32,213 Speaker 3: winemaker and Brian, he's got a vineyard manager and Lisa, 60 00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:35,453 Speaker 3: and he's got a machine and opsky Peter. That's you know, 61 00:03:35,533 --> 00:03:36,333 Speaker 3: it's a small team. 62 00:03:36,413 --> 00:03:39,133 Speaker 2: Oh nice, Yeah, that sounds great. Hey, thank you so much. Camera. 63 00:03:39,213 --> 00:03:41,613 Speaker 2: So Cameron's picked for us this week a Paddy Borthwick 64 00:03:41,653 --> 00:03:44,613 Speaker 2: penigree twenty twenty five from White It Upper.
