Two Oceans Wines asked popular food fundi Justine Drake to devise a simple but delicious dish with a flash of chilli to show off the fruity and floral notes of its new vintage Pinot Grigio.
Brilliantly clear with flashes of green, the wine introduces itself with a subtle floral nose, some hints of litchi and dried fruit that opens onto a fruity and succulent palate, making it a great match for any dish showing a spark of spice.

Two Oceans Pinot Grigio is widely available and retails for around R30 a bottle.  Justine also recommends it as a partner to Italian and other Mediterranean dishes.

This SASSI-friendly fish dish is a great way to feed family or friends and needs no more than a few quick steps.
