A SAVOURY START
To the left
Pepita Grande Verdejo White Wine
Our first wine is the Pepita Grande Verdejo white wine from Spain.
This is a great start to get your palate ready for a tasting. This crisp white is great for a Summer day and the refreshing citrus botanicals definitely make it a favourite amongst white wine drinkers!
+
Béchamel Croquette
We have paired this wine with a creamy Béchamel Croquette served with a ranch sauce.
Croquettes originated in France where they are usually filled with mashed potatoes but when they traveled down to Spain, they took on a very different taste.
Why they are the perfect pair
Cheese is always a great match for white wines. The Pepita Grande cuts through the natural creaminess of the cheese really well. It also adds a great buttery finish to the pallet.
THE SPANISH ROSE
In the Middle
Enoloz Garnacha Rosé
The second tasting you will be indulging in is the Los Enoloz Garnacha Rosé from Spain.
France and Spain are the biggest producers of Rosé around the world. The grapes can grow in all sorts of soil and environments making it such a popular wine in all regions. This Rosé is more dry than sweet. It limits its intake of sugar which allows the fruity, mineral flavours to come out.
+
Palmito Tostada
We have paired this with a Palmito Tostada.
Why they are the perfect pair
Rose is such a versatile wine and because this Rose is more dry than sweet, the delicate flavours of the Palmito balance really nicely with the fruity undertones of the wine.
THE SPICY FINISH
To the right
Lodi Tempranillo Crianza
Your Final tasting is the 2015 Lodi Tempranillo Crianza red from Spain.
Tempranillo grape is the most widely planted red grape in Spain and is often referred to as the “Royal” or “Noble” grape there. The name of the wine comes from “temprano” which means early in Spanish because this grape variety ripens several weeks earlier than most Spanish grapes!
+
Stuffed Mushrooms
We are matching this with a stuffed mushroom.
Why they are the perfect pair
These two are such a great combination as mushrooms are always a hit with red wine. The wine is low in both acidity and sugar so it allows for the earthy flavours in the mushroom to come out.
This concludes your tasting at Vamos.
