What it pairs with
-
Roast suckling pig (cochinillo)
Castilian cochinillo's fat-rich meat works perfectly with the wine's structure and fruit depth. -
Lamb cutlets with rosemary
Herb-coated lamb and the wine's cedar and tobacco notes reinforce each other. -
Aged Manchego
Firm cheese amplifies the wine's dark fruit and earthy finish.
