Here are 3 recommended wine pairings for flathead. Click the button below to explore all options on the Verso app.
Sauvignon Blanc
Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc (350-650m altitude vineyards on cool hills above Adelaide) — explosive passion fruit, lime, cut grass and minerality elevate pan-fried flathead's delicate flesh; altitude vivacity awakening the fragile white flesh of Murray-River-caught Platycephalus, green herbs echoing chopped dill or parsley finish.
Chablis
Chablis, mineral and bright, is a classic for grilled or pan-fried white fish.
Vermentino
King Valley Vermentino (Italian grape planted by Italian-Australian Pizzini and Brown Brothers families in Victoria's alpine highlands at 600m altitude) — lemon, sweet almond, Mediterranean herbs and salinity pair ideally with Aussie-style flathead; salinity echoing iodine-rich flesh, almond prolonging brown-butter cooking, herbal edge holding side fennel pickle.
