What it pairs with
-
Grilled lamb chops
Fresh acidity and earthy fruit match the simplicity and richness of charcoal-grilled lamb. -
Roast chicken with herbs
The wine's lighter body and high acidity pair naturally with herb-roasted poultry. -
Mild Manchego
Semi-cured sheep's milk cheese harmonises with the wine's red fruit and mineral notes.
