What it pairs with

With cheese

Mató Our pick ACREFA describes mató as clearly white, with a delicate taste recalling milk. These light, dry Montsant whites are fermented in steel without oak and have high acidity, a clean lift for a fresh, unsalted cheese.

How to serve Etim 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 prawns with garlic, Light tapas and olives, Ceviche with lime and coriander. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.

History
