An approachable Tinto Fino Crianza from the Resalte estate at the foot of Peñafiel castle, with clean cherry fruit, vanilla and light mineral character.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled lamb chops
    Light fruit and vanilla pair easily with charcoal-grilled lamb.
  • Roast chicken
    The wine's medium body is well suited to simple roasted poultry.
  • Semi-cured Manchego
    Young sheep's milk cheese and the wine's fruit notes are a casual, pleasant match.
