Casar de Burbia Mencia 2020

Spain

This Bierzo from Casar de Burbia expresses itself on a very beautiful Mencia with herbaceous notes, fields of violets, black fruits and leather. Its body is medium-bodied, the mouth is generous and its acidity is present but balanced. On a frame all in freshness, and will be well interesting with this dish. See the product

Jean Jambe, 4.5%

La Barberie

Pale ale with lime and ginger, the jeans will bring free notes of citrus and delicate warmth brought by ginger, heat that will also be found in the soup. The aromas of lime will complete this dish with Asian influences by replacing the Lime district that could be pressed to the service. An agreement offering a double dose of ginger to certainly break the flu! See the product
