We offer you.
Finca Antigua Moscatel Naturally Sweet Muscatel & Foie micuit with citrus reduction
The plate
This starter is a delicate preparation in which the duck liver is gently cooked to achieve a buttery texture. It is accompanied here with a reduction of orange and mandarin, plus a few flakes of salt to enhance the contrast.
Why pair with Finca Antigua Moscatel
The natural sweetness and floral notes of the Muscat balance the foie, creating a round and silky sensation.
The citric reduction, on the other hand, contributes acidity and freshness, preventing the pairing from being cloying and enhancing the honey and white flower aromas of the wine.
Finca Montepedroso Verdejo & Sea bass ceviche
The plate
Ceviche de corvina is a fresh and citric preparation typical of Peruvian cuisine. The corvina, with firm flesh and delicate flavor, is prepared with a leche de tigre made with lime, cilantro, red onion and a touch of aji amarillo. The result is a vibrant, aromatic and clean bite.
Why pair with Montepedroso Verdejo Estate
This Verdejo, with herbaceous, citrus notes and marked acidity, finds its ideal partner in ceviche. The lime intensifies its freshness, the coriander highlights its vegetal nuances and the light texture of the fish prevents the wine from losing prominence.
The pairing works by aromatic analogy and acidity balance, creating a continuous sensation of freshness in the mouth.
Cueva del Granero Orange Wine & Grilled Octopus with Paprika
The plate
Grilled octopus offers a perfect blend of tender texture and smoky aromas. After cooking, it is grilled to obtain that characteristic crispy golden brown. It is sprinkled with paprika de la Vera, olive oil and coarse salt.
Why pair with an Orange Wine
Cueva del Granero, which macerates with its skins that give it its characteristic color, has aromas of ripe fruit and slightly spicy notes.
The smoky flavor of the octopus harmonizes with the complexity of the wine, while the paprika enhances its spicy profile. In addition, the firm texture of the octopus perfectly matches the body of the Orange Wine.
Finca Valpiedra Reserva & veal cheeks with red wine
The plate
Braised veal cheeks are a classic of traditional cuisine. After several hours of cooking, the meat is tender and falls apart when pressed with a fork. It is cooked in a concentrated sauce of vegetables, broth and red wine, with hints of bay leaf, pepper and caramelized carrot.
Why pair with Finca Valpiedra Reserva
This reserve, structured, elegant and with well-integrated ageing, calls for dishes with a gelatinous texture and deep flavors.
The cheeks lower the intensity of the tannins and allow the ripe fruit of the wine to stand out. In turn, the spicy and lightly toasted notes of this wine are reflected in the dark sauce of the stew.
