Food Pairing

Portuguese reds make great companions to the rich, heady dishes that the Portuguese love to devour in copious quantities. Consequently, one need not be afraid of overpowering the youthful Quinta Nova Pomares Tinto. One especially fine accompaniment is Portuguese Bean Soup, a heady concoction of beans, sausage, potatoes, carrots, and almost anything else you care to throw in. It makes a wonderful one pot dish and offers great companionship to Quinta Nova’s Pomares Tinto. Marinated Pork or Lamb, bathed in plenty of red wine, onion, garlic, bay leaves and more, also gets our nod to accompany the Quinta Nova Pomares Tinto. However, when the Portuguese talk about marinating, they truly mean marinating – two to three days is hardly off the charts, but we’ll let you decide when enough is enough. If simpler, more familiar dishes are more to your liking, try Three Beef Sliders with melted Cheddar cheese and red onion or Penne Pasta with a basil pesto cream sauce. Spinach Gnocchi with a vodka cream sauce also warrants two thumbs up. Vegetable Lasagna works well, too, but then most meat, vegetable, and cheese dishes also pair nicely with this wine. Enjoy!
