What it pairs with

  • Whole roasted Castilian lamb
    The wine's power and concentration call for the most celebratory Castilian roasts.
  • Wild game casserole
    Earthy, rich game complements the wine's mineral dark-fruit intensity.
  • Aged Torta del Casar or Manchego Viejo
    Concentrated aged Spanish cheese stands up to the wine's intensity and structure.

History

Carmelo Rodero TSM (for Tinto Fino, Syrah/Merlot blend) was introduced in 2002 as the estate's prestige Bordeaux-influenced cuvee, aged in new French oak for maximum concentration from the Burgos sector's finest plots.
