What it pairs with
-
Wild game (partridge or rabbit)
Garnacha's herbal and earthy notes pair naturally with the gamey richness of small game. -
Lamb with rosemary
Aromatic herb and lamb are a classic Mediterranean combination with old Garnacha. -
Aged Manchego with olive oil
The wine's mineral and herbal depth finds resonance with aged sheep's cheese and oil.
History
Mauro Terreus is a single-variety Garnacha Tinta from old vines at the Mauro estate, first produced in 2000. It is a rare monovarietal Garnacha from this estate, classified as VT Castilla y León because the vineyards fall outside the DO Ribera del Duero boundary.
