A fairly full-bodied red wine with a good deal of spiciness goes well with a spiced beef stew like boeuf stroganoff. Then you quickly end up in the French Rhône, in Portugal or in Italy.
In the French Rhône it is mainly the Syrah grape that gives the wines their spiciness, so you can also choose a Syrah from another country. In Italy, the Barbera or - less well-known - wine from the Sagrantino grape from Umbria is a good choice.
2020 | Portugal | Douro
Scored high more than once on our wine tastings. Powerful, but oh so round and smooth. Tongue-teasing Portuguese.
2017 | Italy | Umbrië
One of the best Sagrantino di Montefalco's from Umbria. Appears soft at first. Until sultry plums, ripe figs, licorice and vibrant tannin take over.
2021 | France | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape is quite a powerhouse. Ripe juice of cherries and blackberries. Wonderful with grilled lamb chops or confit de canard.
