The Valdubon Reserva with extended French-oak ageing, showing concentrated dark fruit, cedar and a more structured profile from the high-altitude Burgos sector.

What it pairs with

  • Roast suckling pig
    The wine's structure and dark fruit stand up to the richness of Castilian cochinillo.
  • Lamb shoulder slow-cooked with garlic
    Herb and garlic lamb and the wine's spice and herb notes are a natural match.
  • Aged Manchego
    Hard sheep's milk cheese and the wine's mineral backbone create balance.
