What to eat with it
Which wine goes with barbecue?
Soft and round, with a subtle toast from the oak that suits the grill. No hard tannins to clash with smoke.
Which wine goes with lamb?
Grilled or barbecued lamb with rosemary and garlic. Softer and more approachable than the Eirados.
Which wine goes with game?
Ripe, concentrated forest fruit with venison, venison stew or duck.
Which wine goes with steak?
A bavette or entrecôte off the grill, when the meat should take centre stage.
Which wine goes with cheese?
Firm cheese: round enough not to bite, full enough not to disappear.
