Côte de Bœuf calls for a bold, structured red. Rioja Gran Reserva's tannins cut through the fat and amplify the char.
Rack of lamb and Rioja is a Spanish classic. The herb crust and the wine's cedar and spice are made for each other.
The cedar and leather of Rioja Gran Reserva holds up beautifully to the richness of duck confit. A bolder, warmer pairing.
