Which wine for every moment

From aperitif to after-dinner: a quick guide to getting the wine right for every plan, without jargon.

There is no need to memorise pairing charts. Just think about the plan and choose a wine to go with it. This is our quick guide.

Aperitifs and light meals

A Verdejo from Rueda is fresh and dry, with aromas of grapefruit, pineapple and fennel. Perfect with seafood, ceviche, sashimi or rice dishes. If you feel like something rounder, the Godello from Valdeorras has a creamy texture and mineral character that works very well with fish and semi-cured cheeses.

For those who like it sweeter

Our Semi-Sweet balances sweetness and acidity. Ideal as an aperitif, with fresh seafood or with desserts that are not too sweet.

Meat, stews and long after-dinner chats

The 8 Months from Ribera del Duero goes with stews, poultry and sheep’s cheese. The Rioja Crianza shines with grilled meat, Iberian cured meats and tapas. And for big roasts, game or well-aged cheeses, the 12 Months is the perfect partner.

Special occasions

Unión, Ivan Rakitić’s Ribera del Duero aged 15 months in barrel, is made for unhurried celebrations: rib steak, lamb or a good acorn-fed Iberian ham.
