Cloudy Bay – Duck & Seafood Wine Trail

Cloudy Bay a wine from New Zealand had put a mark in my heart when it comes to wine recommendation to my friends. A wine that is very easy to drink for all occasions from all their range. Got to know this brand 2 years ago when I first came to their wine tasting and years had pass. This year 2015 also mark their 30th year of wine quality and pedigree that will soon release a rare back-vintage wine that carefully tasted through 30 vintages, with this they are back with another captivating food trail that took place recently. 

We were again asked to head to a generic location and we were then mysteriously brought to our first dining location which is at  started at Brasserie Enfin at Oasis Ara Damansara.

We were then introduce with their white wine Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2014 and to pair with chef creative entree Scallop, pea, strawberry, salad leaves and mandarin puff with a glass @RM78++ or a bottle of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2014 @RM155++ (Dish price RM43++ per pax)

Not only creative in vision and well presented. The whole texture of taste from the crips of the crust, perfectly grilled scallops, fresh greens and mandarin puff taste with well balance and a sip of Souvignon Blanc bring a refreshing taste yet a very mild sweet end towards our palates. Loving eat.

 

Next when it comes to more heavy taste of mains, Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 2013 @ RM128++ or a bottle @ RM187++ (Dish price RM98++ per pax) is the choice to go after to pair with Duck Leg.

Duck leg, duck cracker & duck breast, potato with quinoa crumble, berries pate and sauce. It is presented in two presentation that duck breast meat is being cook to perfection with crips on the skin yet for the leg and its peas do bring a bit of extra fresh. Duck leg is fried to crips on the skin and meat is just nice. Great combination with skin and the wine.

Final location is at some where new to me, Huba Huba Sentral. Love this hidden gem with its nice interior, as it is located on higher floor of this building as when searching for this building, I were totally lost.

Like their Pan Seared Marinated Duck Breast, served with Raspberry Sauce & Foie Gras for two, with a Bottle Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir at RM330++ (Usual Bottle Price: RM280++, just top up RM50 for 2 mains!) Their raspberry sauce is the main catch of the day whereby its not too sweet yet blends well with the rest of the sauces. This round its a bit weird as the Pinot Noir after taste more solid and slightly end dry compare to others.

A dish like this can be look very plain but once you have the fresh Black Cod Miso with Arugula Escabeche & Thyme Quinoa for Two, with a Bottle Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc at RM280++. Its a match made in heaven.
