Intense, Blackcurranty Reds

These wines are wonderful with meat and game, However, they tend to overwhelm fish, and taste bitter with tomatoes and spicy foods. They are also unsuitable for cold meats such as chicken or pork.

• Roast or grilled red meats - especially lamb (Best match)
• Venison
• Duck and goose
• Roast chicken and turkey
• Cold roast beef
• Red meat in rich sauce (Good match)
