Churton Pinot Noir, Marlborough 2020 (organic)

From Marlborough, New Zealand, this Pinot Noir is brighter and fruiter than some of the earthier charm found in Burgundy. Bursting with ripe black cherry and raspberry on the nose and palate, complemented by warming spice on the finish, the wine is beautifully wrapped up by soft tannins. From wild mushroom risotto to pan-fried salmon, hoisin duck to classic roast rib of beef, Churton Pinot Noir is your food match.

Instructions:

Prepare the Duck:

  1. Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. Score the skin in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
  3. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Chinese five-spice powder.

Cook the Duck:

  1. Place the duck skin-side down in a cold frying pan (no oil needed).
  2. Turn the heat to medium and let the fat render out slowly. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
  3. Flip the duck and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare or 6 minutes for well-done.
  4. Remove from the pan, cover with foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Make the Hoisin Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
  2. Heat the sauce in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Assemble the Dish:

  1. Warm the Chinese pancakes or tortillas in a dry pan for 10 seconds on each side.
  2. Thinly slice the duck breast.
  3. Spread a little hoisin sauce on each pancake, add cucumber and spring onions, then top with duck slices.
  4. Drizzle with extra hoisin sauce and roll up.

Serve and Enjoy!

Best served warm with a side of extra hoisin sauce for dipping.
