The gardens and vineyards shine magnificently during the month of June, and it’s the perfect time to pair summer gastronomy with Arzuaga wines.
The arrival of hot weather means we dust off our barbecues and get the vine shoots or charcoal ready to roast over the embers T-bone steaks, lamb chops, belly pork, vegetables and other delights that make us think of summer. And on these days, you can’t go without Arzuaga wines. To pair with the barbecue you can choose, for example, our Arzuaga Crianza 2018, which gives smooth and sweet sensations. And to accompany the cured meats and cheeses that are usually served as appetisers while the meat is cooking over a low flame, the best choice is La Planta 2019, which gives balance and harmony.
But summer isn’t just about barbecues. We know that rice dishes also become more popular when the sun’s rays get hotter, especially those accompanying fish. So, if you’re a dab hand at seafood dishes, we suggest that you accompany your summer lunch or dinner with Arzuaga Rosae 2020, a trendsetting Tempranillo rosé wine the colour of rose petals. And if you’re a fan of Japanese food, this wine is also perfect for a romantic evening based around sushi or sashimi.
Because fish tends to feature more on our tables during the summer months. Delicate barbecued sea bream, skewers of sardines or turbot roasted slowly over embers make us think of peaceful nights in the garden, with good company… and good wine. A perfect choice for fish lovers is Fan D. Oro 2018, whose floral nuances pair perfectly with produce from the sea. If you also like to make your meals lighter and replace the starter with a light cream of vegetable soup, this Chardonnay will be the ideal companion.
And, since on this blog we’re used to telling you lots of our secrets, today we’re going to tell you one that’s kept safely in our kitchens. Pago Florentino 2018 will amaze everyone if you save it for dessert and serve it alongside a sweet that has chocolate in it. The black fruit notes will blend with that cold chocolate mousse you’ve got in the fridge. A perfect finish to a delicious dinner together with Arzuaga wines.
