Slow cooked roast lamb with Wild Mushrooms Spinach

Pair with Oloroso

Pairings for Olorosos are different. The Oloroso Sherries have a lot of body and structure and contain glycerine. They are delicious and explosive as they have high content of alcohol, greater than 18% vol. Accordingly, pairing will be with succulent dishes such as meats and game with flavoursome sauces; it is also interesting and delicious for the harmony of the dish to use the Sherry itself in the stew or the sauces.

Pairing Oloroso with food

The ideal temperature at which to serve an Oloroso is at between 12 and 14ºC. 

This is the most suitable wine to accompany red meat and game. It combines perfectly with meat stews and casseroles; especially gelatinous meat such as bull's tail or cheeks. The perfect match for wild mushrooms and well cured cheeses.
