There's something deeply satisfying about pulling a crisp-skinned roast chicken from the oven, ready to serve with simple sides – root vegetables in colder months, a leafy salad and new potatoes slathered in butter as the weather warms.
Sutherland Chardonnay 2019
Although almost any wine you love could be a match, there are some that will transform a golden bird into something really special.
This is a remarkably well-crafted chardonnay for the price, with delicious ripe pineapple and peach plus toast and light smokiness from well-integrated French oak barrel ageing.
The hallmark freshness from Elgin's cool climate sings out in this wine, which will make a star match for roast chicken.
