The subtle sea flavour of the octopus, cooked to perfection, the delicacy of the potato and, of course, the contrasts provided in this dish by quality olive oil and paprika are the perfect complement to the freshness of our Abad Dom Bueno Godello Esencia.
Lately, we have become accustomed to statements claiming that, to achieve great pairings, we must match a good wine with recipes that are overly elaborate. Without a doubt, it is always a pleasure to enjoy cutting-edge haute cuisine and, by considering the ingredients in its dishes, to pair it with the wines that fit best. But today, from the Bodega del Abad blog, we would like to highlight tradition. Those simple, familiar dishes that are still capable of captivating even the most discerning palates. And we know that accompanying those recipes with a good wine is also a pleasure well worth enjoying.
On this occasion, as part of our suggestions, we are going to pair one of Bodega del Abad’s white wines: Abad Dom Bueno Godello Esencia. A wine that champions the native Godello variety from our land, to which we give some very special touches thanks to its time in oak barrels, which lends it a clear bouquet of fine toasted notes. A powerful, silky single-varietal wine with marked Atlantic freshness.
Many dishes pair perfectly with this wine, but, in order to champion the tradition we referred to, today we are taking a virtual trip to La Moncloa de San Lázaro to suggest pairing it with one of their generous and exquisite servings of octopus with cachelos. The subtle sea flavour of the octopus, cooked to perfection, the delicacy of the potato and, of course, the contrasts provided in this dish by quality olive oil and paprika are the perfect complement to the freshness of our Abad Dom Bueno Godello Esencia.
Yet another occasion when tradition is synonymous with quality and success
