Thanks to Vinum Menorca, this week we recommend a wine that will surely make you fall in love with the first drink. This is the Cuatro Rayas Cuarenta Vendimias 2021. A Ribera del Duero made by oenologist Elena M. Oyagüe. A monovarietal of Tempranillo from old vineyards over 40 years old and with 10 months in barrel.

Tasting note

View: Cherry red, intense and with violet reflections.
Nose: Penetrating, clean, with aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackberries, plums, licorice and also spicy and roasted notes with a touch of mocha.
Mouth: Powerful, complex, very well structured. With sweet tannins that remind us of forest fruits, in addition to finding spicy notes from its passage in French oak barrels and with a pleasant, long and persistent finish.

Pairing

Grilled red meats, lamb and pork, soup dishes, stews and also meat rice and pasta dishes.

It is the ideal wine for a grilled beef barbecue. From red beef entrecots to chops and choplets, without leaving out Argentinian-style cuts such as entrañas, vacio and churrasco.

Also grilled lamb or goat chops accompanied by garlic and oil, as well as baked lamb legs and shoulder blades, as well as pairing with baked piglets or dishes such as loin with apples or a pork loin with pepper sauce or Menorcan cheese.

Spoon dishes go well, especially stewed meats such as pork, lamb and veal, without leaving out a good panadera of cod, now that we are in Lent times. Pairs well with vegetable dishes from chickpeas to beans or lentils.

Meat dishes such as arroz brut, or mellow rice dishes in the casserole, such as sweet pork ribs and quail, or sea and mountain dishes such as ribs, cuttlefish and prawns, or a paella of rabbit, Ciutadella red prawns and squid.

Macaroni with rabbit, roast cannelloni, macaroni with meat or Italian dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese or a meat and mushroom lasagna.
