What it pairs with
-
Whole roasted lamb
The wine's power and complexity match the grandest Castilian occasion dishes. -
Wild mushroom stew with truffles
Earthy, mineral notes in the wine echo the truffle and mushroom richness. -
Aged Torta del Casar
Concentrated, pungent sheep's cheese is a worthy partner for this wine's intensity.
