Chef’s Table Presents One-Night 6-Course Wine Pairing Dinner
To commemorate Austrian Wine Week, Chef’s Table by Chef Stephan Zoisl presents a one-night only 6-course Wine Pairing Dinner on Saturday, 19 November.
Whet your appetite this November for a one-night only 6-couse wine pairing dinner prepared by Chef Stephan Zoisl of Chef’s Table. Two of Austria’s oldest and most renowned wineries – Winery Gross and Winery Hillinger, together with one of Austria’s most famous distilleries, Distillery Farthofer, will pair their wines and spirits with Chef Stephan’s exquisite meal.
Each guest will be presented with a Chef’s Table experience – from a menu curated with the freshest seasonal produce, to a table service by Chef Stephan himself. The meal will kick off with simple snacks inspired by classic Austrian favourites, followed by a 6-course surprise tasting menu. Having been born and raised in Austria himself, Chef Stephan will also share with guests the story and inspiration behind each dish.
As for the wine pairing, Michael and Maria Gross, owners of Gross Winery, will be present to share soe of their wines. This includes the Sauvignon Blanc Ried Nussberg – a highly complex and extremely well-ageing Sauvignon Blanc.
The soils of lime-marl and sand-lime brick yield a harmonious interplay of herbal components and a fine acidity. Fermented in 600-litre barrels, the wine is matured in large barrels and would complement perfectly with fish or white poultry.
Micheal Hoeffken, representative of Winery Hilllinger will also be present at the event to take guests through the history and viniculture of Hillinger. Hillinger has successfully switched to organic winemaking since 2010, focusing on soil development and dispensing with synthetic fertilisers.
Guests will be able to find out more about their signature wines including the Pinot Blanc Terroir 2015 – spicy with a long finish and married with elements of pear, quince, pineapple and a hint of lavender.
Last but not least, the dinner will see Josef Farthofer and Doris Hausberger, managers of one of the famed spirit distilleries in Austria, Distillery Farthofer . Having kept their family tradition of distilling schnapps for over a hundred years, guests will be able to sample a glass of their Schnapps in an array of flavours from Williams Pear and Muscadine Grape to Old Plum.
The wine-pairing dinner will be held on 19 November 2016, 7pm at 61 Tras Street, Singapore 079000. The dinner is going at SGD 238+ per pax. Be sure to make reservations via phone (6224 4188) or email chefstable@2015L.com.
