Why do we love it?

Does Malvasia age? Not only it does but it gets even better. Rioja Mlavasia 2012 by Abel Mendoza is here to prove it!

Abel Mendoza, the cult producer of Rioja, is completely indifferent to marketing tricks, media, and ignores all the heavy designations like Reserva. Its only purpose is to create epic wines that bear the terroir imprint, of the magical areas that its grapes grow. Along with his oenologist wife, they founded their winery in 1988 and began to create wines with an identity that today belong to the top of the region. White Rioja from Malvasia variety is a fantastic wine of deep aging. Malvasia ferments into new 225-liter French oak barrels and after fermentation, matures for about 5 months on its fine lees. But aging for 7 years in the bottle is what makes the difference!

PAIR IT

Stuffed chicken roll with quince and potatoes in the oven

1 stuffed chicken roll
1kg potatoes cut into small pieces
500 gr quince cut into thick slices
2 lemons (juice and zest)
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
2 tbsps. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. curry powder
1 tbsp. fresh oregano
1 tbsp. fresh thyme
1/2 cup of olive oil
Salt and pepper
600 ml of vegetable stock

Preheat the oven to 250 ° C. Add the olive oil to the casserole, then the chicken roll, the cut quince and the potatoes.

Mix the remaining ingredients with a small portion of the stock and pour the mixture on the roll and potatoes. Add stock so that the mixture covers the potatoes.

Cover the casserole and, after lowering the oven to 150 ° C, put it in the oven. From time to time we open the casserole and check whether we need to add some water.

Once ready, uncover the casserole and raise the oven temperature. Leave it there until it's golden brown.
