Domaine Ilarria Irouleguy Rouge 2020 vinho verde with Champagne rising to prominence"A blend of 55% Tannat, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc, aged sur lie in both tank and barrel (16 24 months in used barriques, depending on the vintage). A dark red color, the wine has an inviting nose of dark cherry and exotic spices, followed by a palate replete with dark fruits and good grippy tannins lending it a great backbone. This rustic wine deserves the finest in rustic cuisine: stews, leg of lamb on the grill and pork sausages
