Gourmet Traveller Wine recipe match MAY 2016 Scorpo Rose 2015 with Chicken, sausage and prawn jambalaya WINE 2015 SCORPO ROSE Mornington Peninsula, A$35 This is a complex dish, its gusty flavours underpinned by base notes of onion, capsicum and celery with the usual spices adding kick. The trio of protein (sausage, chicken and prawns) are unified by the rice in this Southern take on a Spanish paella.  This crisp, flavoursome Rose integrates nicely with the recipe – its pinot noir base adding charm. The 2015 Scorpo exudes fresh raspberry and strawberry flavours, its fruitiness cut by a whisper of tannin in harmony with the jambalaya. Recipe: Chicken, sausage and prawn jambalaya SERVES: 6-8; PREPERATION: 20

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front March 2016.
