'Many may know that artichokes are a notoriously difficult vegetable to pair wines with.With this in mind, we love being able to celebrate much of what we are about in the Bar 44 tapas y copas venues… sherry! We are pairing this delicious elegant simple artichoke dish, with Tio Pepe Fino en Rama 2026. One of the ultimate white wines of the world, fino works so well with vegetables like artichoke, that you could almost say it is a star pairing. Fino has almost zero residual sugar in it, meaning no clashing with the natural acid in the artichoke, which with some wines creates an unpleasant metallic effect upon pairing. The other elements, such as salty savouriness as well as almond notes in fino, work fantastically with the vegetal earthy notes of artichoke. Choosing a ramped up ‘en Rama’ version of fino, which is unfiltered and fuller in flavour, deals very well with the spicing elements in the aubergine purée, making all round for an excellent pairing.' - Owen Morgan, Co-Founder
