What it pairs with

  • Whole roasted lamb (lechazo)
    Only the grandest Castilian roasts are a worthy match for this wine's scale.
  • Wild boar braised with juniper
    The wine's dark mineral core complements earthy, gamey braises.
  • Black truffle with aged Idiazabal
    Truffle earthiness and aged sheep's milk cheese echo the wine's mineral and dark-fruit register.

History

Malleolus de Sanchomartín was first produced with the 2001 vintage from the Sanchomartín single-vineyard parcel, which the Moro family regards as their most mineral and structured site. It is the companion to Valderramiro in the estate's single-vineyard tier.
