Darren Purchese highlights Farm to Table Wines in Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse collaboration.
If you’ve been anywhere in Melbourne last 2 weeks, then you would have seen one of the Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse billboards, featuring their new Beef Cheek and Shiraz Pie.
This winter Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse, renowned for its delicious baked goods, has teamed up with acclaimed chef Darren Purchese to create a new and exclusive range of gourmet pies that promise to delight food and wine lovers alike. This collaboration, known as “Baked by Darren Purchese,” highlights Darren’s innovative baking and love of premium ingredients, drawing inspiration from the finest produce Victoria has to offer.
The concept behind these pies is simple: to take familiar flavours and elevate them using top-quality ingredients from local artisanal producers. Launching in July, one of the first pies in this range is the Beef Cheek & Shiraz Pie.
An integral ingredient to the Beef Cheek & Shiraz Pie is our Farm to Table Shiraz. We are known for our profound respect for provenance, husbandry, and craftsmanship—values that align perfectly with the ethos behind Darren Purchese’s pies. The Farm to Table Shiraz, with its bright red fruits, delicate spice notes, and hint of cracked pepper, complements the rich flavours of the slow-cooked beef cheek without overpowering them.
The Farm to Table range is designed to capture the essence of the farm, embodying our connection to the land and the enjoyment of quality food and wine. Each wine in the Farm to Table range are carefully blended to complement the soft textures of farm raised meats.
We hope you stop by your local Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse this winter and experience the Beef Cheek & Shiraz Pie. This collaboration not only celebrates the best of Victorian produce but also showcases the art of pairing exceptional food with equally exceptional wine.
