This recipe was paired with a Grüner Veltliner Urgestein from Dry Farm Wines. Grüner Veltliner is a white wine grape variety grown primarily in Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Our sample came from Hager Matthias, a small winery that switched to organic, biodynamic farming in 2005.

Do you like fennel? It is a very distinct flavor that some might think they wouldn’t like, but it goes especially well with pork. Add apple to the mix and you have a winning recipe. This warm salad features all three. Cool crisp apple and fennel topped with herb roast pork tenderloin. It all perfectly pairs with a delicious white wine from Dry Farm Wines. The depth and viscosity of the white wine seemed especially agile with the differing components of the pork tenderloin, fennel and apples. The off-dry style with its principal flavor of red apples, is softened by gentle, perfumed peach undertones, yet all freshened up with a lively grapefruit finish. Avoid over-chilling the wine, as that repressed the rich flavors during our tasting.

This dish is Paleo/Keto and AIP compliant. While we aren’t saying that wine is AIP, if you are going to drink wine you should choose wisely. Dry Farm Wines is all natural, additive free, tested for purity, is sugar free and low alcohol. Some who follow an AIP lifestyle can tolerate these wines that are sourced from small, family owned, organic wineries from around the world.
