In the glass
What it pairs with
-
Braised lamb shank with root vegetables
The wine's concentration and mineral depth suit slow-braised lamb. -
Duck breast with cherry reduction
Dark fruit in the wine mirrors the cherry reduction accompanying duck. -
Grilled beef entrecote
The firm tannins and mineral intensity need a well-marbled beef cut.
