Linguine with Seafood, White Wine Sauce, and Bottarga
Linguine with fresh seafood—mussels, shrimp, and squid—in a rich white wine sauce, finished with grated bottarga and fresh parsley. A dish with Mediterranean depth that finds its perfect New Zealand pairing in the Elephant Hill Reserve Chardonnay from Hawke’s Bay. Here, New Zealand wine demonstrates that barrique-aged Chardonnay is the natural partner for great seafood cuisine.
