What it pairs with

  • Roast lamb with herbs
    The wine's mineral and dark fruit character suits the classic Castilian roast.
  • Wild mushroom and game stew
    Earthy richness complements the wine's mineral and dark-fruit intensity.
  • Aged Manchego Curado
    Firm sheep's milk cheese and the wine's structure and dark fruit are well matched.
