Monte Real Reserva is exceptionally versatile, pairing beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its robust structure makes it an ideal companion to roasted meats like lamb or beef, as well as hearty stews and rich pasta dishes. The wine’s spiciness also complements dishes with Mediterranean flavours, such as grilled vegetables or seasoned paella. It even works perfectly with semi-cured cheeses, as the wine’s tannins and structure cut through the richness of the cheese, making it a perfect choice for any dinner party or celebration. But remember to let the wine rest around 30 minutes before serving and drinking.
This wine is more than just a drink, it is an experience. It reflects the heritage and passion of its creators. Let yourself be transported to the rolling hills of Rioja, with every sip of this wine.
