Food Pairing
Lamb Tagine with cashews – go easy on the apricots though, you don’t want sweetness in the food to numb the fruit in the wine.
Gran Cerdo Tempranillo, Gonzalo Gonzalo
£10.95
Rioja, Spain
Gran Cerdo certainly reflects its producer’s huge character – Gonzalo Gonzalo, Rioja’s ‘enfant terrible’ loves to be controversial. The story goes that the winemaker was refused money from the bank to bottle a batch of his wine. So, in honour of said banker, he placed a greedy pig on the front of the bottle and called it Gran Cerdo (big fat pig), the full story is on the back label and well worth a read.
From its smooth, ripe flavours to its squeaky clean minerality, the Gran Cerdo is a real gem and a great talking point!
The winery continues to go from strength to strength with the latest 2020 vintage, eclipsing its predecessors in smoothness, elegance and succulence.
Produced organically and following biodynamic principles – doesn’t get more wholesome than that!
