Wine Tip
Trollinger
This light-bodied wine offers moderate acidity partnered by fruity strawberry notes, which blend well with the flavors found in apple and onion chutney. Trollinger is usually consumed within a year of being bottled.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Cut off the top of each apple to form a lid. Scoop out the core with a spoon. Replace lids, place apples into a baking dish, and bake for approx. 10 – 15 min. Remove from oven.
