International Food Pairings


Tapas

One of the wine world’s most underused categories of wine, sherry is so much more versatile with food pairings than people give it credit for. I’ll stick to the basics this time round, however, because I’ve chosen to pair the Romate Amontillado with tapas. Amontillado is a dry style of sherry that is slightly oxidized. The crisp acid of the wine cuts through any rich flavours, while the nuttiness of the wine perfectly enhances the umami and savoury flavours. Enjoy this sherry the next time you’ve got a board on the go and watch as the textures and tastes of it all come to life like you’ve never experienced before.
