CELEBRATE NEW TRADITIONS – For the last wine pai

CELEBRATE NEW TRADITIONS – For the last wine pairing of the year and in this festive occasion, we have chosen to honour Marques de Murrieta, who have recently won the best wine in the world for the Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva 2010 from Wine Spectator!
One of the most celebrated wineries in Rioja and custodian of some of the oldest vines and cellars in the region, Marques de Murrieta gifts wine lovers around the world with truly hand-made, world-class wines.
Still a family-run operation, the winery is the oldest family owned estate in Rioja. The love for their region translates in wines that are a joy to savour with friends and family. Their chef, Mariano, is an extension of the family having been at the winery for decades and is focussed on using as much produce from the local area as possible. Here is his recipe for Duck breast with a red wine and raspberry reduction and honey mustard, which is paired with their Gran Reserva.

Ingredients
1 Duck Breast (500g)
8g Whole Cane Sugar
15cl Marqués de Murrieta Reserva Red Wine
Black Peppercorns
Truffled Salt
4 Mint Leaves
14g Currants
14g Raspberries
6g Honey Mustard
6cl White Wine

Method
Marinate the duck breast in the white wine overnight.
To make the red wine reduction, simmer the red wine in a saucepan on a medium heat until the liquid has reduced by half add the sugar, currants and raspberries and allow to simmer for 5 minutes before finishing with 3g of honey mustard. Blend the reduction and pass through a fine sieve. Add 2 mint leaves to the sauce and leave for 2 hours before removing the leaves.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees fan.
In a frying pan, brown the duck breast on both sides over a medium-high heat. Remove the excess fat from the pan and finish the duck in the oven for 5 minutes. Carve the duck into 1.5cm slices, season, and place in the centre of a warmed plate. Drizzle the reduction around the duck, garnishing with warm redcurrants, raspberries and a touch of honey mustard.

From all of us at MMD the warmest wishes for a merry festive season!

As we approach the last days of 2020, we are sending you our best wishes for the festive season, and a safe and healthy 2021.
This year certainly has had its challenges but it has also been one in which we have seen great innovation, adaptability, resilience and a collective will from all of you to meet the challenges the industry has faced. We hope you are able to raise a glass this Christmas and to toast the brighter times that will lie ahead.
From our team at MMD to yours, thank you for all your support during the year!

CELEBRATE KINDNESS - Maisons Marques et Domaines h

CELEBRATE KINDNESS - Maisons Marques et Domaines have undertaken a collaborative "MMD Ultra Marathon" this December, to fundraise for the Napa Valley Community Disaster Relief Fund, which supports those affected by the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex Fires and Glass Fire.
As well as fundraising for the Napa Valley community as a whole, the MMD team's efforts show support for our colleagues in California, who make up our growing US Portfolio of producers: Roederer Estate, Domaine Anderson, Merry Edwards and Diamond Creek. The fires did not reach the Anderson Valley this year, however, the majority of staff members at Merry Edwards and Diamond Creek were evacuated from their homes during the fire storms and many were without power for three weeks once they were eventually safe to return home.
We thank you for all the support we have received, but there's still time to donate! Please follow the link in our bio, designate your donation to 'Disaster Relief Fund [wildfires]' and dedicate your donation to MMD Ultra Marathon Fire Fund.
