McWilliams Hanwood Estate Riesling

Produced in the South Eastern Australia appellation, two-thirds of the wine is sourced in the Riverina region of New South Wales, a quarter from Clare Valley, a small portion from the Eden Valley, and the remainder from Barossa, Coonawarra and the Yarra Valley in Victoria. The grapes for this wine are harvested at night, and then fermented under cool conditions, without any use of oak at all. A refreshing white with citrus and zippy mineral notes.Buy this wine if you like: Expressive white wines with distinctive character and luscious fruit. Great for drinking with food.

Split the chicken breast almost in half and open it out like a book. Bash with a rolling pin to flatten, then lightly coat in the seasoned flour.

Heat the oil in a pan, add the chicken and cook for three to four minutes on each side until crisp, browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

Add the tomato, capers, olives and wine to the pan, season to taste, then bring to the boil.

Bubble the sauce for two to three minutes until the tomatoes start to break down, then spoon over the chicken and scatter with chopped herbs. Delicious with steamed potatoes.
