Tasting notes White wine Pago Mota:

Very clean and bright wine, with a straw yellow colour with golden reflections.

Very clean nose with great aromatic intensity, the first olfactory sensations are of white flowers, tropical fruit and hints of citrus. As it opens up, the tertiary aromas from its time in barrel appear, with hints of toffee, coffee and yeast.

Easy entry, with unctuous and honeyed sensations, combining very well with the freshness provided by the well-balanced acidity in its passage through the mouth. With a long and persistent finish, where floral notes and tropical fruits reappear.
Optimum service temperature: 8º-12º C.
A pairing: Merluza en salsa verde.
Ingredients: 4 slices of hake, 125 g of onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 100 ml of white wine, 200 ml of fish stock or fumet, 10 g of wheat flour, olive oil, salt, parsley, fine clams, tinned white asparagus.
Elaboration:
- Peel and chop the garlic cloves and sauté them in a low pan, taking care not to burn them.
- Add the grated onion and fry over a very low heat until it is well poached and translucent.
- Add the tablespoon of flour, stir well and fry for a couple of minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and stock, stir so that no lumps form with the flour and leave to cook for ten minutes to bind the sauce well.
- Meanwhile, chop a good handful of fresh parsley leaves and add them to the casserole along with the slices of hake, previously seasoned with salt and pepper, and the clams.
- To cook the hake more quickly, cover the casserole and leave to cook over a medium heat for five minutes or until the clams have opened and the hake is ready.
- Drain the asparagus and cut into three pieces, decorate each plate with them before serving.
Enjoy the fish accompanied by an exceptional wine!
