Slow-braised oxtail
The wine's dried fruit and tobacco tones work with the gelatinous richness of braised beef. -
Wild mushroom and game casserole
Earthy intensity of game and mushroom matches the wine's mature complexity. -
Aged Torta del Casar
Intense, pungent cheese meets the wine's tobacco and leather depth.
