Organic VT Castilla y Leon from the Salamanca province estate: ripe cherry, blackberry and herbs from Tinto Fino and Cabernet Sauvignon, with 14 months French oak and the organic estate's clean, fresh profile.

What it pairs with

  • Roast chicken with pimentón and herbs
    Medium body and red fruit complement the smoky herb-roasted chicken.
  • Pork loin with garlic
    The wine's fruit and moderate tannins suit the clean pork flavour.
  • Lentils with smoked paprika
    Everyday earthiness and red fruit match the warm spiced lentil dish.
