As Australia's oldest wine region, Hunter Valley has a long history of adaptig to changing tastes. While known for its classic white styles, it also demonstrates the potential for new varietals to be equally great, as seen in the Margan Vineyards Albarino. To highlight its green apple lime splice flavours and crisp, dry palate, chef Thomas Boyd elected to pair soft, sweet jewfish, delightfully accentuating the wine's crunchy texture.

Method

1. Spinach purée: Blanch spinach, in batches, by putting in a large colander set over the sink. Slowly pour over boiling water. Using gloves, squeeze out moisture.

3. Vermouth veloute: Heat 20ml oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat, add fish bones, cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown, add garlic, eshallot, thyme and mushrooms. Add Chardonnay, reduce by ½, add chicken stock and reduce by ½. Add milk and cream, simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Strain into a clean saucepan, season with salt and 30ml Margan vermouth. Add spinach purée.

5. Jewfish: Heat 20ml oil in frying pan over medium high heat. Add fish, skin side down, cook for 3 minutes or until skin is crisp. Turn, cook for a further 3 minutes or until fish is cooked through.

6. Heat remaining oil in a separate pan, over high heat. Add pippies and stir, add remaining vermouth, and cover. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until pippies open.

7. Using a stick blender, blend the veloute to create fresh bubbles.

8. Place fish on plate topped with vegetables, pippies and veloute.

Garnish with deep fried kale.
