What it pairs with

  • Slow-roasted lamb shoulder
    Full body and firm tannin match the richness and slight gaminess of lamb.
  • Pigeon with juniper
    The wine's structured dark-fruit core sits well against game birds with resinous spice.
  • Aged hard cheese
    A long finish and firm tannin need a cheese with equal intensity.
