Tapa: Slow-cooked Iberian pork belly, apple, morcilla paired (£14.50)
Vino: Ontanon Rioja Riserva 2019 (£17, 175ml)
'Tempranillo is an excellent match for slow-cooked Iberian pork belly because its medium to full body and balanced acidity cut through the richness of the pork, preventing the dish from feeling overly heavy. Mature Rioja Reserva develops flavours of ripe red cherry, plum, vanilla, tobacco, leather, and sweet spice, which complement the caramelised pork and the earthy, spiced character of the morcilla. The wine's smooth, integrated tannins provide enough structure without overpowering the delicate sweetness of the apple, creating a harmonious balance between fruit, savoury flavours, and richness.' - Irina Bulhea, Booking Manager
