Nero d’Avola-Merlot and duck a l’orange – WBW#8

by Jeanne Horak on April 13, 2005 4 Comments in Recipes, Wine & beer, Wine Blogging Wednesday

Duck breast in orange sauce

Contrary to the impression created by my singular lack of posts lately, I have neither fled the country, nor been run over by a red double-decker bus, nor eaten an exotic but poisonous mushroom/shellfish/miscellaneous titbit. What could the reason be for my silence then? Well, not much apart from Real Life intruding on blogging time (eating food, shopping for food, cooking food, having a birthday and going to a wonderful restaurant in Berlin, to name but a few) and the undeniable fact that I suck at time management!! But despite my woeful, post-deficient month so far, I couldn’t miss out on Wine Blogging Wednesday, brainchild of Lenn Thomson over at Lenndevours, could I?? The theme this month was Sicilian reds picked, unsurprisingly, by Ronald at LoveSicily.

If I have had Sicilian red before, I certainly don’t remember it. In fact, the only time I may have had some was at an Italian wine testing organised by the Italian club in my home town about 4 years ago. But clearly it didn’t make a huge impression as I can neither remember it, nor have I ever sought Sicilian wines out again. The fact that Sicilian wines have such a low profile in general is strange when you think how long they have been around. Although the Greeks are usually credited with the introduction of viticulture in Sicily around 600 BC (bringing several grape varieties with them during their extensive colonization), the Phoenicians, too, probably raised grapes in parts of Sicily, especially near flat coastal areas. There is also evidence that the Elymians (or Elimi or Elami), western Sicily’s native people, raised indigenous grapes and made a form of wine. Also, Italy’s largest contiguous grape-growing region lies in the far west of Sicily, straddling the low but rugged Gibellina Mountains in what is still sometimes called the “Mazara Valley.” It is a vast viticultural area larger than those of Piedmont, Veneto or Tuscany. And yet, apart from the sweet, strong Marsala wine for which Sicily became known, her wines go largely unnoticed. But apparently more modern techniques in viticulture and winemaking, coupled with the unique blending of local Sicilian grape varieties and international ones, has spawned a new industry – some have called it a renaissance in the Sicilian wine industry.

So when I wandered up the wine aisle looking for the Italian section, I had no idea how easy or hard it would be to find a bottle of Sicilian red – simply because I had never looked before!! As it turns out, there were about 4 or do reds to choose from but as usual, I was in a hurry and ended up choosing before doing my homework (like I said, I just suck at being organised!) and chose on price more than anything else – got something midway between their cheapest and most expensive. One day I’m going to learn to go to OddBins or similar for WBW purchases… Ahem.

The bottle I chose was a blend of Nero d’Avola and Merlot, so it could have been eligible for last month’s WBW as well 😉 I’d never encountered Nero D’Avola before, but after some post-purchase reading I discovered a bit more about the variety. For a start, it is also called Calabrese and it is one of the most common grape varieties in Sicily, first grown in the province of Siracusa, and the name literally translates as “black [grape] of Avola”. It is normally blended with other varieties to produce excellent wines like the Cerasuolo di Vittoria and some Marsala wines, but it is also a renowned stand-alone varietal. It apparently makes deeply coloured, age-worthy wines that are full-bodied and moderate in tannin, with heady flavours of ripe fruit and herbs. Nero d’Avola is often compared to Syrah in terms of body and taste and is sometimes blended with other reds (like cabernet sauvignon or merlot) but more usually bottled as a single varietal. However, as is so often the case, a number of wineries have introduced Nero d’Avola to cash in on a profitable trend. To avoid an overpowering taste, the flavour of this wine is best when the grapes are placed in cooled vats at harvest –preferably at night– to prevent conditions which can lead to premature fermentation. This technique, however, is employed by very few wineries, and consequently there are some overpoweringly harsh examples out there. You can probably see where this is heading…

 

Bottle of nero davola wine

 

So on Tuesday night I planned and made a special dinner to match the wine and, sadly, the dinner far outshone the wine (which is probably the Universe’s way of telling me to spend more time blogging about food and less time tracking down obscure wines!!). So let’s talk about the dinner first: roast duck breasts with an orange sauce and a creamy mushroom potato bake. Duck never ceases to amaze me – it is really a lot easier than I always imagine!! Duck breasts rinsed, dried and plonked in an oven-proof dish; skin pricked all over with a sharp knife and rubbed with salt; and put uncovered in a 200C oven for about 30 minutes (grill on for the final 5 minutes). The orange sauce was kind of cobbled together from half-remembered recipes and the potato bake used up ageing potatoes, mushrooms, cream and cheese (together with some slightly younger onions and garlic and a crumbled vegetable stock cube).

Forty minutes later (I cheated and par cooked the potato bake in the microwave!) we were sitting down to dinner with our SPECTACULAR duck breasts & orange sauce & potato bake and our bottle of Nero d’Avola, which had been breathing for about 30 mins by then. A quick look at the label told me… not a great deal. Yes, it was a Nero d’Avola-Merlot blend, from Sicily (Indicazione Geographica Tipica or IGT as opposed to DOC, although this is seldom an indication of quality – or lack thereof). Yes, it contained 13.5% alcohol per volume. Yes, it was a 2002 vintage. But that’s where the useful info stopped. NO indication of how much of each varietal was used in the blend. NO indication of where in Sicily it came from, although I guess we can safely assume that it is not from a single estate, otherwise this would have been emblazoned on the label. NO indication of barrel ageing. And the information that was there was a dead end. The bottler MGM Mode del Vino is a large conglomerate bottling wines from all over the world, and I could find no mention of this particular wine on any website mentioning them. The UK Distributor, Western Wines Ltd. also choose not to mention this wine on their site. So in short, that’s about all I can tell you by way of background info! Apart from the fact that this bottle came from Tesco and cost in the region of £5-6. And of course my tasting notes:

Sicilian Nero d’Avola-Merlot 2002

Colour: clear garnet, not particularly dark

Nose: very shy nose, even at room temperature. Slightly green, stemmy? Surprising, given that it’s 3 years old.

Palate: The label promised “soft with hints of chocolate”. Hah. Big, upfront wine with lots of alcohol, but its first impression of slightly bitter cherries just grows into an annoying bitterness. Not tannic (the tannins were quite soft) – just harsh, acidic and green. Some peppery spiciness, but the overwhelming impression on the finish was lack of fruit, lots of alcohol, and bitterness. Drinking it with food helped to take the edge off a little, but not much. There were about two glasses left in the bottle by the end of the night (we soldiered manfully on…!) and I left that with the cap half unscrewed overnight, and by dinner the next night it had softened considerably, but was still lacking in fruit in my opinion. On that last point, I had thought that a 3-year-old wine would have softened a lot more than this one did, but thinking about it now, I wonder whether the screw-cap didn’t have something to do with its unexpected harshness. Possibly what this wine needed was some more contact with oxygen, which a natural cork may have provided? Guess we’ll never know…

Will I ever buy this wine again? Not bloody likely!! Will I try other Sicilian Nero d’Avolas? Definitely. But this time I’ll go to a wine merchant and ask for some expert advice. Or just do my homework before purchase rather than after!

Anyhow, for those of you who are interested, below is my recipe for duck breast in orange sauce.

DUCK BREAST A L’ORANGE (serves 2)

Ingredients:

2 duck breasts

salt

FOR THE SAUCE:

1/3 cup of light brown sugar

1/4 cup of white sugar

1 Tbsp cornstarch

1½ Tbsp grated orange peel

¼ cup orange juice

¼ cup orange liqueur like Cointreau or Drambuie (I substituted bourbon this time, which worked just fine!)

½ tsp salt

¼ orange skin, in julienne strips

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 200C. Rinse the duck breasts and pat dry.

Place the duck breasts in an oven-proof dish skin side up, rub generously with salt and prick the skin all over with a sharp knife. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes (grill on high for final 5 minutes to crisp the skin).

For the sauce., mix the sugars and the cornstarch together in a saucepan – use a larger one than the ingredients indicate as the sauce bubbles up. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir till the sugar is dissolved. Allow the mixture to boil and thicken for 4-5 minutes and pour over the duck.

More deliciousness for you!

    Great description as always. I should never read your blog when hungry.
    Do you remember the “shy yet insistent” wine/ box from our varsity days…?

    Hey Sal – oh how could I forget! In the Botanical Gardens with you, your accountant boyfriend, me, Biddy, my and Biddy’s respective psychopathic boyfriends (!), a large 5l box of shy yet insistent (oh VERY insistent) wine (“dooswyn”!)… aaah, good times, good times. And then playing rats/quarters in your room till your fellow residents asked you to keep it down!! I think I still have a pic somewhere of you wearing the cardboard part of the wine box as a hat later in the evening… Good thing our parents spent all that money to let us live it up at varsity!! Money well spent, I’ve always maintained.
    Anthnoy – well, you see, it numbs your tastebuds and then you don’t notice that anything is missing from the plum… er, cherry… er, apricot… er, what was the flavour of that sauce again? hic…

    I stumbled onto this, because I wanted to cook duck legs, and didn’t have the recommended wine – wanted to know whether my tentative choice of Nero d’Avola, out of what we had, would be suitable! Well, we DID enjoy our wine.
    I also followed (roughly) your recipe for orange sauce, except that I had no Bourbon, but happened to have some Cointreau! While I was heating the sauce, it didn’t bubble up – but it did catch fire, like brandy flaming on a Christmas pudding! It was still nice, whether or not that should have happened.
    Thank you for your post, of 15 years earlier!

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
