Ideal combination

Fish

Fish pairs best with white and rosé wines: they don't overpower the taste and suit different cooking methods.

Match

Cheese

Cheeses pair well with wine: hard cheeses with reds, soft and blue cheeses with whites and fortified wines.

Match

Winemaking

The ageing process combines an initial biological phase under a veil of flor followed by an oxidative phase. This traditional criaderas and soleras system gives the wine its complex aromatic profile and structure.
