What it pairs with
-
Whole roasted lamb
The wine's power and complexity demand rich, traditional Castilian roasted meats. -
Braised wild boar
Game's earthy intensity is a natural match for the wine's mineral and dark fruit character. -
Aged Manchego Viejo with quince
Dense cheese and sweet quince provide textural and flavour balance to the wine's intensity.
