What it pairs with

  • Grilled lamb chops
    Fresh acidity and cherry fruit pair with simply grilled Castilian lamb.
  • Roast chicken with garlic
    The wine's medium body is versatile enough for simple poultry dishes.
  • Semi-cured Manchego
    Young sheep's milk cheese and the wine's cherry and vanilla notes are a natural match.

History

Bodegas Cillar de Silos was founded in 1994 at Quintanamanvirgo in the Burgos sector, taking its name from the monastery of Santo Domingo de Silos nearby. The estate quickly built a reputation for consistent, well-priced Tinto Fino.
