Pairing Ideal for accompanying boards of Iberian cold cuts, grilled meats, traditional stews, mountain rice dishes, semi-cured cheeses, or even spicy Asian cuisine dishes. Its structure and freshness make it suitable for both informal meals and more elaborate pairings. This wine is a clear example of the potential of Mencía when worked with respect for the variety and the environment.
