What it pairs with

  • Whole roasted lamb
    Only the grandest Castilian roasts suit the scale of this wine.
  • Venison with dark berry reduction
    Game and dark berry resonate with the wine's intense fruit and mineral depth.
  • Aged Torta del Casar
    This pungent, aged Spanish sheep's cheese can match the wine's concentration.
