Pairings from Sip ’n Bite
Curated gourmet pairings that highlight the wine's profile and structure — available for takeaway and tasting at Sip ’n Bite
Snail's and porcini mushroom Pâté
The earthy and umami flavoуrs of the porcini mushrooms and snails are complemented by the complex, slightly earthy and fruity characteristics of the wine, and the creaminess of the pâté softens the tannins.
Green cheese
An intense and salty accent that sits well with the fruity and structured red profile and makes the tannins feel soft and velvety. The acidity in the wine refreshes and balances the fats.
Elena Dry Aged Pork Leg
The bite highlights the peppery and earthy character of the wine and brings a good balance between saltiness and fruitiness. The fat in the meat softens the tannins in the wine and gives it a velvety feel.
