Los Vascos Sauvignon Blanc

Accompanied by scallop soup

Suggested by Marcelo Gallardo, Technical Director Viña Los Vascos

Ingredients

  • 1 large fennel bulb
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 very fresh branches celery
  • 1 carrot
  • 1/4 celeriac
  • 1 pinch saffron pistil
  • 8 scallops
  • Salt, pepper, olive oil

For 4 persons Preparation time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 22 minutes

Recipe:

Wash the fennel and celery. Remove the threads and chop finely. Peel the celeriac, carrot and onion, cut into sticks. Sweat the vegetables for 5 minutes in olive oil. Cover with water, add salt, pepper, saffron and bring to a boil. Leave to simmer for 15 minutes, add the scallops, cook for 2 minutes and serve immediately.

The wine:

A lively wine, balanced with a fresh attack and good persistence. The dish brings together the fresh crunchy vegetables with the delicate marine flavours of the scallops.

Serve with a young vintage of Los Vascos Sauvignon Blanc.
