We suggest pairing it with oysters, mussels, scallops and other seafood, this wine is the ideal companion to complement the aromas and guarantee an explosion of flavors on the palate!
The harmony of Gáudio Reserva Red to complement Christmas dishes
Christmas dishes are a harmony of flavors, for lovers of well-cooked meats with a lot of personality, we suggest our Gáudio Reserva Red , a wine made from 60% Alicante Bouschet, 30% Touriga Nacional and 10% Tinta Miúda that presents fruit notes black, some floral, mint, toast and green coffee as aromas. In the mouth, this wine displays balance and a set of solid and robust tannins that guarantee pleasure and longevity. For main dishes, it accompanies aged beef, tasty game meat stew and a good aged cheese.
Herdade do Moinho Branco Alicante Bouschet, the perfect pairing for meat
The Herdade do Moinho Branco Alicante Bouschet single variety is a broad wine with a lot of personality. Yolk from Alentejo, it is the perfect pairing for grilled red meat! Its aroma is persistent, fresh and quite intense. It presents notes of wild fruits, blackberries, blueberries, ripe but fresh and very captivating fruit. In the mouth it is dense and silky, with firm tannins and wild fruits evident in the mouth, adding the acidity that ensures balance. It's a great ally of time and essential on your Christmas table!
