What it pairs with

With cheese

Mató Our pick ACREFA describes mató as clearly white, with a delicate taste recalling milk. These dry whites are fermented in steel with little or no oak and carry high or medium acidity, so they freshen the cheese without covering it.

How to serve Clos Berenguer Blanc

Allow 5 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and pour. Open and pour directly. No decanting required for this style.
  2. Serve at 8-10°C. Cellar temperature (8-10°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a smaller all-purpose white glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Grilled sea bass, Catalan fresh goat cheese with herbs. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.

History

The white wine from Clos Berenguer was introduced to round out the estate's range with a mineral-fresh expression of Priorat's indigenous white varieties.
