What it pairs with

With cheese

Garrotxa Our pick Four years or more on the lees give these Xarel·lo-led Corpinnat Brut Nature wines a savoury, lees-rich depth that meets Garrotxa's buttery paste and damp-cellar rind, while high acidity and a fine bead refresh the goat's milk. Formatge serrat Our pick Five years or more on the lees give these zero-dosage Corpinnat wines a savoury, autolytic depth that suits a mature pressed cheese, while the bone-dry palate, high acidity and fine bead cut the fat of a serrat.
