Marble of Lobster and Tomato Confit, paired with Jacob's Creek Steingarten Riesling

Jacob's Creek Steingarten Riesling

We kicked off the night with some really nice noms, beginning with the Marble of Lobster and Tomato Confit, paired with Jacob's Creek Steingarten Riesling. The dish was made up of lobsters, avocado and grapefruit segments, and pomegranate truffle. Luxurious indeed. The Steingarten Riesling shows intense citrus floral aromas and flavours with dry mineral acidity, outstanding mid-palate structure and great length. 

White Tomato - Smoked Rolled Quail in Young Coconut

Paired with Jacob's Creek Reeves Point Chardonnay

For fans of Chardonnay, the Reeves Point is a medium-bodied wine with flavours of lemon, ripe peach, and melon balance. It went exceptionally well with the subsequent dish, White Tomato - Smoked Rolled Quail in Young Coconut. Love the flavours from the coconut, enhanced by the wine. 

Grilled Black Angus Beef Tenderloin paired with Jacob's Creek Centenary Hill Shiraz

My favourite for the night, a meaty delight in the form of the Grilled Black Angus Beef Tenderloin paired with Jacob's Creek Centenary Hill Shiraz. My first time tasting grilled beef tenderloin which was this tender and flavourful. For the Centenary Hill Shiraz, this fine wine has a rich berry flavours with intense plum and spice aromas. It has a heavier taste than the other wine offerings that night. 

Pan-fried Blue Eye Cod Fish, paired with Jacob's Creek Reeves Point Chardonnay

Perfectly done Pan-fried Blue Eye Cod Fish was another choice of mains, paired with Jacob's Creek Reeves Point Chardonnay. The delectable cod fish literally fell off the fork upon eating it, served with fern shoot, and seafood saffron veloute. 

Royale Chocolate Gateaux with Berries, paired with Jacob's Creek Johann Shiraz Cabernet

We ended our Jacob's Creek Heritage Wine Collection Wine Pairing Dinner with sweet dessert in the form of the Royale Chocolate Gateaux with Berries. Paired with the Johann Shiraz Cabernet wine, it was a perfect end to a very nice night out. The Johann Shiraz Cabernet is a wine that inundates the senses of complex, intertwined and intriguing with notes of liquorice, blackcurrent and oak.

The event meets captain of industries of premium and exclusive lifestyle brands such as BMW and Valiram whilst graced by celebrities - Wilson Tan, Nadine Ann Thomas, Raj Aria, Jeremy Teo and Yuri Wong. Not only that, the event enabled fellow guests to network and come together to learn as well as experience the heritage of Jacob’s Creek fine wine.
