The Wine
Tempranillo is a red grape variety which forms the backbone of some of the finest wines from Spain and Portugal. Almost every red wine from Rioja and Ribera del Duero has Tempranillo at its core, and in Portugal, the variety is widely used in the Douro Valley – under the name Tinta Roriz – both for table wines and fortified wines (Port). Tempranillo vines have been successfully adopted in the New World, especially in California, Argentina and Australia.
The grapes are grown at a vineyard located on Baja Montana of Navarra at an altitude of between 400 and 700 meters above sea level. A continental Mediterranean Climate slightly cooled by winds coming off the Pyrenees. Hacienda Uvanis Garnacha has an aura of ruby with a spice and cedar aroma. A huge delivery of dark fruit flavours, full-bodied and high acid. Medium spice aftertaste.
Tasting Notes
Hacienda Uvanis Tempranillo has a balanced taste, a long aftertaste. Good pairing with Braised pork, foie gras, pickled duck.
Food and Wine Pairing
Strongly flavoured meats such as beef and game (deer or goose) are always going to pair well with this wine. Rich and savoury meals as opposed to sweeter styles of cooking.
For Chinese style food, this wine would probably overpower Cantonese style foods but would work well with richer Zheijiang style cuisine or the Sichuan and Hunan styled cuisine.
The Cheeses
- Chilli and Lime Cheddar has been blended with zingy lime juice as well as piquant chilli which leaves a long finish.
- Champagne Cheddar has the taste of sweet Champagne swirled into an already perfect mature Cheddar.
- Sharp Cheddar is an aged Cheddar cheese matured for at least 12 months. It is a well-rounded, delivering a mouth-watering, strong and full flavour on the palate.
- Wensleydale and Cranberry Cheese, we take plump cranberries and add them to the cheese creating a great, sweet and juicy cheese
Our Expert Guidance
The pairing of this Navarra Tempranillo with Four Cheeses has been done for you but there are some other hints and tips you need to get the very best out of a cheese and wine pairing. Let’s start with the “don’t” for the really simple folk.
Cut up the cheese into pieces that you think work for you. Or perhaps slice it.
Get your hands on some decent quality dry bread, crackers, wafers or anything similar. You need a bland or neutral taste. Nothing too salty. Add some decent quality nuts or dried fruit because these are a natural pairing for a good bottle of red wine.
Thin slices in a diagonal direction are possible the best approach on these cheeses.
A decorative plate for the cheese, nuts and dried fruit and something to serve some bread or crackers on. Add in some wine glasses and then this Navarra Tempranillo with Four Cheeses will be at it’s best
