What it pairs with

  • Roast rack of lamb
    A wine with five years of bottle age and firm tannin wants a clean, generous cut of red meat.
  • Hare civet
    Tertiary notes and dried nuts belong with long-cooked game.
  • Aged Serra da Estrela with walnut bread
    The dried nut register in the wine is a literal echo of the bread.
