The weather is chilly, the candles and fire are lit, and we have a new winner on the menu.
🦐 Garlic Prawns. Plump prawns sautéed in garlic butter, finished with cream and served with crisp bread snaps for dipping and soaking up every last drop of the velvety sauce.
For the perfect pairing, enjoy a glass of our Wine of the Month, the Tallarook Marsanne 2019 from Central Victoria. Rich and luscious on the palate, with a lingering finish of quince and honeysuckle.
