Fresh oysters, with a glass of Sense of Place Anna Christina MCC. Summer heaven. This elegant, Chardonnay-driven Méthode Cap Classique has aromas of fresh Granny Smith apples and citrus blossoms with a nutty yeastiness, and goes perfectly with these fresh oysters with apple, cucumber and basil, a fresh recipe from Alet Kilchenmann of The Bubbly Club. You’ll need ... any amount of fresh oysters, shucked (the more the merrier we say); a Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced into small cubes; and cucumber ribbons (discard the outer skin). For the vinaigrette: ½ cup good quality olive oil; 50ml Sense of Place Anna Christina MCC; 25ml fresh lemon juice; 5ml honey; 5 large fresh basil leaves; a good shake of smoked chilli flakes; salt & pepper to taste. To make: Blend the vinaigrette ingredients with a hand blender until combined. Top oysters generously with apple cubes, cucumber ribbons, and lashings of the vinaigrette and enjoy!

The freshness of the wine cuts through the creaminess of the soup. This is a match made in heaven.” You’ll need: 3kg fresh mussels; 2 onions, 1 leek and 2 celery sticks (from his garden, he tells us, you may have to pop into the greengrocer); 1 cup each of water, chicken broth and Journeys End Weather Station Sauvignon Blanc (be a little more generous if you are feeling adventurous). 1 cup of clam juice (you can also buy canned clams and drain out the juice, or if you can’t find canned clams, then substitute with another cup of chicken broth); a quarter cup of fresh parsley and 3 mashed garlic cloves (also from his garden); 1 cup cream; salt and pepper, of course To make: Add onions, leeks, celery, parsley, garlic, water, wine, chicken broth, clam juice, salt and pepper into a potjie pot over hot coals, and bring this to boil. Reduce the heat, add the mussels, cover, and simmer for five mins or until mussels have opened. Add the cream right at the end and you’re good to go. This recipe serves four, says Mike, adding “but my girlfriend Tynika and I are more than capable of finishing two servings each”.
