What it pairs with

  • Slow-roasted lamb shoulder
    The wine's mineral intensity and firm tannins are ideally suited to rich, slow-cooked lamb.
  • Wild game with berry reduction
    Gamey iron richness and the wine's dark berry mineral character are complementary.
  • Aged Manchego Viejo
    Hard sheep's milk cheese mirrors the wine's concentration and mineral backbone.
