The 31st Lovedale Long Lunch is set to be a feast for the senses, and one of the standout pairings of the event is the Buttermilk Southern Fried Chicken with 2023 Saltire Sauvignon Blanc. This mouthwatering dish, prepared by Hunter Valley Catering’s Head Chef Nick Vivian, features crispy buttermilk fried chicken served alongside jalapeno cheesy chats and smoky grilled corn ribs—a perfect balance of crunch, spice, and richness.
To complement these bold flavours, the 2023 Saltire Sauvignon Blanc brings a refreshing contrast. Bursting with tropical passionfruit, zesty gooseberries, and fragrant lemongrass, this wine delivers a vibrant yet smooth palate. Notes of fresh honeydew melon and juicy white peaches add a luscious depth, while the crisp, clean finish refreshes the palate between bites.
This exquisite pairing is a testament to Saltire Estate’s dedication to crafting wines that enhance every dining experience. As a Scottish family-owned winery, Saltire Estate blends tradition with innovation, producing a boutique range of wines that celebrate both heritage and modern winemaking.
