Vina Pedrosa Gran Reserva

What it pairs with

• Slow-roasted lamb with garlic
  Extended ageing and the wine's tobacco and leather tones suit the richness of slow-cooked Castilian lamb.
• Wild game stew
  Earthy game and the wine's mature complexity are complementary.
• Aged Manchego or Idiazabal
  Firm Spanish hard cheese and the wine's traditional Castilian structure create a balanced pairing.

How to serve Vina Pedrosa Gran Reserva

Allow 65 minutes from open to pour.

1. Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
4. Pair with. Slow-roasted lamb with garlic, Wild game stew, Aged Manchego or Idiazabal. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
