Tasting note for Red Wine Gaudium Reserva:

Cherry color with garnet rims with some purple flare, high layer.

It emphasizes its marked spicy character without "covering" the fruit, notes of shady woods, licorice stick and blond tobacco. Very complex and interesting.

It is delicate at the entrance, gaining power in the palate, with red tannins, elegant toast and acidity still alive.
Optimum service temperature: 16° C.
A pairing: Ragout de ternera.
Ingredients: 400 gr. of beef skirt (to cook), 150 gr. of cooked peas, 500 gr. of carrots, 1 onion, 1 nut of butter, 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce, flour, 500 ml. of red wine (Marqués de Cáceres), water, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, a sachet with aromatic herbs: thyme, rosemary, laurel.
Elaboration:
- Peel and chop the onion and put in a pot with the butter, a little oil and a pinch of salt. Add the bag of herbs.
- Add salt to the meat, flour and cook it in a pan with a little oil.
