Wine Tip
Rosé, fine dry, 2014
The slight sweetness of the wine can stand up to the essential thyme oils. Rosé unfolds its delicate aromas of ripe blackberries and elderberries best when well chilled.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C/ 392°F. Finely chop onion, garlic, and thyme leaves. Peel carrot and cut into fine dice. Cut celery into fine dice.
