What it pairs with
-
Grilled lamb chops
The bright acidity and medium body pair naturally with charcoal-grilled Burgos lamb. -
Chorizo a la sidra
Spiced sausage in cider matches the wine's herb and spice register. -
Soft Manchego
Fresh sheep's milk cheese and the wine's cherry notes are an easy, pleasant pairing.
