What it pairs with

With cheese

Mató Our pick ACREFA says mató is usually eaten with honey, jam, nuts or a sweet liqueur. A sweet late-harvest Garnacha from Falset with dried-fruit richness stands in for the honey: the cheese stays milky, the wine brings the sweetness.

How to serve Etim Dolc Natural

Allow 5 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and pour. Open and pour directly. No decanting required for this style.
  2. Serve at 8-12°C. Cellar temperature (8-12°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a small dessert-wine glass (3-5oz pour): the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Crema catalana, Blue cheese with walnuts, Chocolate and almond tarta. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.

History

Etim Dolc Natural draws on the Catalan tradition of naturally sweet wines from sun-dried Garnacha, a style with roots in the region's historic Carthusian and monastic winemaking heritage.
