Mushroom Wellington wraps a savoury, umami-rich mushroom filling in flaky puff pastry — earthy, rich and elegant, a vegetarian centrepiece. The deep mushroom umami and buttery pastry pair best with earthy reds whose forest-floor notes echo the mushrooms and bright acidity cuts the pastry. Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo are ideal, their earthiness flattering the filling. A textured white also suits a creamy version. The wine should be savoury and earthy with fresh acidity; matching the umami mushrooms while cutting the rich pastry makes an earthy red the natural choice.
