About this product
Mexico's most acclaimed red wine — a Bordeaux-blend aged 18 months in French barriques (50% new). Deep ruby; cassis, plum, cedar, tobacco, and a distinctive baja mineral character. The warm days and cold Pacific nights of Guadalupe Valley create unusual concentration with naturally preserved acidity. Drinks beautifully at 5–15 years.

Gran Ricardo's Cabernet structure handles the braised beef's richness; the pickled onion's acidity harmonises with the wine's natural freshness.

complement
The wine's dark fruit and cedar complexity contrasts with the sharp, salty aged cotija; agave honey bridges the wine's fruity sweetness to the cheese's salinity.
