Duck breast
Duck breast is a rich, fatty protein with a distinctive gamey quality that pairs beautifully with wines offering bright acidity and subtle fruit notes to cut through the richness. The caramelized skin and medium-rare flesh create a textural and flavor contrast that works wonderfully with medium-bodied reds that have enough structure without overwhelming the delicate meat.
