We’re big fans of Marlborough chef Bradley Hornby. His restaurant Arbour is a must visit destination in Marlborough, loved for its welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful flavours and use of delicious local produce. Bradley has created a recipe designed to enjoy alongside a glass of our Classic Sauvignon Blanc. If you make it, we’d love to hear what you think!
