2. Our Chefs Recommend:
Kangaroo fillets demi-glace with mushroom ragu and sweet potato mash: ... "It arrives at your table as a subtle combination of earthy browns and ochres. Deep, rich aromas of mushrooms, marinade, herbs, and mash hit your nose. The varied textures of kangaroo fillets, mushrooms, and the mash complement each other as their falvours and textures mingle and melt in your mouth"...

Matching Wines: We recommend to match this dish with a glass of Pinot Noir: it complements the rich but delicate earthy flavours; does not overpower the complex palate of the dish, and beautifully cleanses the palate between generous mouthfuls!
2005 Voice of the Vine Acapella Pinot Noir, Mornington Peninsula, Vic ... $9.90 / $44.90  ...
2005 Bouchard Pere et Fils Reserve Bourgogne Pinot Noir, Chateau de Baune, France ... $79.90 ...
