What it pairs with

  • Turbot on the bone
    Full body and a long finish stand up to a meaty flatfish.
  • Slow-cooked pork belly
    Acidity resets the palate against the fat while the nutty note echoes the crackling.
  • Aged Idiazabal
    The smoky twist runs alongside the smoked sheep cheese.
