Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this red wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Roast duck with cherry sauce is a superb match because the wine's fresh red fruit character complements the sweetness of the fruit while its acidity cuts through the richness of the meat. The floral notes add elegance to the pairing, while the tannins provide structure without overwhelming the dish.

Wild mushroom risotto with thyme and aged hard cheese creates a rewarding vegetarian pairing. The earthy flavours contrast beautifully with the wine's aromatic freshness, while the subtle oak influence enhances the savoury complexity.
