Five years or more in oak and bottle give these Tinto Fino reds mature complexity; a long-cured Castellano, sharper, saltier and more piquant with age, has the depth to match, and its fat carries the wine's grip.
Queso de Burgos is mild, milky and barely salted. Served the usual way, with honey, quince or walnuts, it suits a white with stone fruit and almond: a Ribera Albillo Mayor.
A longer-matured Castellano turns more intense, salty and slightly piquant. Ribera Reserva, full bodied with dark fruit from longer oak ageing, has the weight to stand beside it, and the cheese's fat rounds off the tannin.
Address: C/ La Fuente 2, 09350 Oquillas, Burgos, Ribera del Duero
