With cheese

Queso Camerano Our pick Aged in French oak, often new, these modern Tempranillo-led Riojas are full bodied, firm in tannin and high in acidity; a hard curado Camerano's salt and fat tame the tannin, and its slightly bitter, wild-herb finish holds its own.

How to serve Inspiracion Valdemar Edicion Limitada
