Serve with roasted or grilled meats (like this roast lamb with rosemary and garlic), root vegetable dishes (like these yuca fries) or a thai green curry.

Complement with tortilla chips and freshly made salsa, or a bright tomato and watermelon gazpacho. Delicious out of the bottle but also elegant when slightly chilled.

Serve with steak frites, rustic garlicky sausages, or butternut squash dishes like this one roasted with orange and honey.

Serve with barbecued/smoky meat dishes, rich tomato sauce and corn-based dishes (like this sausage and fennel ragu with cheesy polenta). Works really well with tacos and burritos.
