Wine and cheese
Priorat cheese with Garnacha Blanca
Mató
Our pick ACREFA describes mató as clearly white, with a delicate taste recalling milk. These dry whites are fermented in steel with little or no oak and carry high or medium acidity, so they freshen the cheese without covering it.
Dry steel-fermented Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo white, DOQ Priorat, Priorat: Camins del Priorat Blanc · Clos Berenguer Blanc · Blanc de Roques
