BIG GREEN EGG X CHAPEL DOWN
The flame & the vine
Fire-cooked food and exceptional wine – it’s a match made in heaven. A Big Green Egg punches up the flavour. A well-chosen wine brings balance and harmony. The result: a soaring symphony on your palate.
To explore some pairing possibilities, we made our way to Chapel Down in Kent, a producer of superb English wines. Head chef Charlie Whitton regularly uses a Big Green Egg to bring the best out of the beautiful local produce at the winery’s acclaimed restaurant, The Swan Wine Kitchen. Charlie shared five of his favourite fire-cooked recipes before head winemaker Josh Donaghay-Spire talked us through his chosen wine matches. Nothing complicated, nothing fussy, just effortless good sense and magnificent combinations.

ABOUT CHAPEL DOWN
Based in Tenterden, Kent, Chapel Down is a leading producer of English sparkling wines. Its wines –whites and rosés, sparkling and still – are produced entirely from grapes grown on vineyards in the southeast of England. These include Chapel Down’s own extensive vineyards on the Kent Downs, where chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot meunier and bacchus vines benefit greatly from the chalky soils and maritime climate. The rest of the grapes are sourced from long-term partners across Kent, Sussex and Essex, resulting in balanced wines with unique flavour profiles.
