What to eat with it
Which wine goes with lamb?
Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz bring ripe fruit and florals, the silky tannins leave the tender meat intact. With rack, leg or roast shoulder of lamb.
Which wine goes with steak?
Ten months in French oak and enough structure for seared red meat.
Which wine goes with beef stew?
A long finish for a dish that has taken its time: beef stew, braised oxtail.
Which wine goes with cheese?
Aged cheese — old Gouda, Manchego, Serra da Estrela. The ripe fruit balances the salt.
Why Varna and Nelson chose this
Why we chose this
Varna: “My first own red, from a plot bearing my name. If I may point to one bottle in this drop, it is this one.”
