Pulses are one of the cornerstones of the Mediterranean Diet. They are an ancient and complete food. Rich in healthy protein, you can consume them in so many ways all year round. Perfect even as a dish to take away for your summer getaways.
As a pairing our suggestion is Chenin Blanc Pinotage Rosé 2021 by Simonsig: The blend expresses the typical scents of the vines that compose it: fresh melon and stone fruit (peach blossom, almond, plum, apricot, and cherry) for Chenin Blanc and strong hints of ripe red berry fruit for the Pinotage.
