Rich Mushroom Wine Sauce

This is a blogger challenge with Frontera Wines.

This is my second recipe for my challenge. This recipe is to use as a sauce to drizzle onto any meat. Merlot is a rich dry dark fruits wine. This wine is soft and smooth with a 12.5% alcohol content. It is great to eat with pasta, cheeses, meat and chicken.

If you have not heard of Frontera before, in fact they are the world’s best-selling Chilean wine brand. The brand has refreshed the look and feel with its redesigned packaging. Now each bottle’s label has a fun and visual story all about the heritage of the wine, the poetry is told through the traditional Chilean method of ‘Lira Popular’ portraying the innovative spirit of Frontera.

On their redesigned packaging, the label on the Merlot bottle has the following:

It was a little blackbird

That gave me my name

Mirlo they called it

Beautiful and dark

Two things we share

Along with a joyful song

Grapes with magical roots

The Frontera range is available at stockists nationwide RRP £5.99 the range includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and the newly launched Cabernet Sauvignon Blush.  This is the rich mushroom wine sauce recipe.

Ingredients:

• 200ml Merlot wine
• 15 chestnut mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 stalks of fresh rosemary

Method:

• Melt the butter in hot pan and add mushroom. Cook until brown.
• Add wine and rosemary and simmer for 5 minutes.

This sauce has a very powerful strong fruity taste especially with the fragrance of the rosemary herbs. This recipe is so easy to cook with only a couple of ingredients which you can make it in 10 minutes. So why not try it out with any ‘leftover’ wine!

So this is my made up poem:

It was a little boy

Rich and Red

Two things we share

Along with a happy song

Grapes with magical roots
