Wine Recommendations
Smoked Goose is the most complex of the smoked meats in our range, not surprising, given the other ingredients of the recipe, sherry, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and bay leaves. These add a lightly oriental touch to the sweetly smoky goose meat. Red wines go well with the goose, particularly the light, fruity examples, such as Beaujolais and Valpolicella. The sweet fruit of the Australian Shiraz is also very persuasive.
