Ingredients

1 bottle Barking Mad Riesling
1/2 cup caster sugar plus 2 tbsp
1 vanilla bean split
4 peaches
1 cup créme fraîche

Method

1. Boil a large pot of water.
2. Whisk together Riesling, 1/2 cup sugar, the vanilla bean and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce to very low and leave over low heat.
3. Blanch peaches in the pot of boiling water, then peel. To remove skin easily, score an x into the top and bottom of the fruit with a paring knife, once boiled, transfer to a bowl of water and rub skin at the X to loosen, then rub it off.
4. Halve and pit peaches.
5. Place peaches into poaching liquid. Cook over high heat until the liquid boils, then quickly turn off the heat and cover with plastic wrap to seal. Set aside until cool.
6. Transfer peaches to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
7. Boil liquid over high heat to reduce by half. Cool completely, then pour over peaches and chill until cold, about 1 hour.
8. Meanwhile, whisk together the crème fraiche and remaining 2 tbsp sugar.
9. Place the peach half and about ¼ cup poaching liquid into each bowl. Dollop with Creme Fraiche.
10. Enjoy!
