This spring we are rediscovering our Verdejo through its new vintage 2021. But… Did you know which are the best recipes to pair with this excellent wine? We tell you below the best recipes for pairing our Verdejo.
Barcolobo Verdejo not only stands out for its incredible bright, intense and bright green color but also for its subtle aromas of fennel and ripe fruit that are masked by a faint aroma of wood. All this produces a smooth, fresh mouthfeel with just the right amount of acidity and a heady finish. A flavor that undoubtedly enraptures everyone who tastes it.
In order to taste it in the most efficient way, it is advisable to serve it at a temperature of about 8 ºC in a wide glass so that it can express all its aromas. However, when accompanying it, we must be careful about which foods to use as they can kill its flavor and in this way we would be wasting such an exquisite wine. From Barcolobo we tell you some ideas that never fail for our Verdejo, such as oriental food, rice, soft meats, foie gras or seafood. We tell you three perfect ideas for your meals this spring
