Fisherman’s stew recipe

Scoop up the sauce with loads of crusty bread – a meal in itself.

TO DRINK: Bellingham Fair Maiden contains six grape varieties, with the emphasis on chenin. It is a gorgeous combination of white wine flavours (spice, fruit and herbs) that will stand up to this dish’s intricate flavours.
