From Japan to Mexico, via India, Australia and France, Dark Horse is taking


consumers on a gastronomic adventure without them having to leave the comfort of

their own homes.

The recipes, which feature on a dedicated webpage, have been developed to encourage experimentation and challenge traditional food and wine pairings, with some of the exotic pairings created by foodie Instagram influencers.

Sauvignon (#1 contributor to growth to the Cabernet category) is paired with

spicy harissa lamb, and Dark Horse Chardonnay (the #2 premium Chardonnay category in the UK, and growing rapidly - up 53% by value in the past 12 months) with a fresh seafood platter, a great option for the festive season.
