Grilled Corn and Arugula Salad
Recipe by: Tanya Miller
Serves: 4-6
Pairing suggestion: 2022 Rosé Grand Klasse Reserve
INGREDIENTS:
4 ears corn, shucked
3-4 arugula handfuls, or to taste
Cherry or baby tomatoes, halved or quartered
Red onion, thinly sliced
3-4 freshly squeezed Mandarin oranges or 1/3 c orange juice
Juice of ½ lime, or to taste
⅓ c extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, grated or finely chopped
Pinch of salt and pepper
Manchego cheese to shave over as garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a small jar, combine juice, garlic, dash of salt and pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Screw on lid and give it a good shake.
Grill corn on a hot BBQ or indoor grill pan until lightly charred but still crisp, approx 7-10 minutes. Set aside. Once corn has cooled, lay on a cutting board and carefully cut off one side with a sharp knife. Now you have a flat side for stability. Continue cutting the corn off the cobs. Note: If you have ripe, sweet corn, grilling is optional - it’s fine to serve uncooked, but the grilling does add another level of flavor.
In a shallow bowl, arugula, corn and tomatoes. When ready to serve, shake the dressing one more time and drizzle desired amount over salad. Toss to coat. Shave Manchego over top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tasting notes
Old World in style, the gorgeous 2022 Rosé Grand Klasse Reserve shows remarkable precision and purity. The nose has the perfect combination of sweetness and minerality, with wild strawberry, orange peel, crushed roses, guava, and stony undertones. Swirling brings notes of lavender, raspberry purée, white peach, and sage. The mouthfeel is elegant, mouthwatering, and extremely energetic. Citrus and stone fruit flavors dominate the palate, but the mineral presence remains intact. Exceedingly wellbalanced, with superb texture, sweetness, and length, the wine never loses its tension and energy. An outstanding rosé from our volcanic bedrock soils, with gorgeous acidity and a mineral drive, that you can drink now or in the next 5 years.
