The only wine that goes well with Jamón

Maridaje -Wine pairing

At Enrique Tomás we have two new pairing wines to accompany Jamón. They are wines made for Enrique Tomás. For some time now we have been testing new formulas with expert oenologists who have been looking for the best combination of grapes and elaboration to reach the result we have now: our pairing wines. We have red wine for the unconditional fans of this wine when it comes to ham, and white wine for those who prefer a more refreshing wine. Both are safe bets to enjoy good ham and good wine at the same time.

Jamón and Red Wine Pairing -Enrique Tomás

We finally did it, as they say, whoever is next, gets it! Now we have found the best marriage of Jamón/ham and red wine. The experts agree that the best way to combine ham is with white wine or cava, but there are always those who believe in red wine to accompany ham. And it is not easy, you can have the best ham and a great red wine but when you combine them both are killed in a relentless duel. Separately yes but not combined. There are few reds that allow us to enjoy them if we combine them with the Jamón/ham and that also invade the aromas of the latter without letting us savour its texture and aroma. With this pairing of red wine with DO Montsant we have achieved the marriage of a red wine with ham, because they marry perfectly. You will see...

The two grapevines from which this red wine comes are within the Montsant D.O.

They are 70% Garnatxa and 30% Syrah. They are made separately, with their alcoholic fermentation taking place in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature of between 24 and 26 ºC. Later, it is transferred to wooden tanks with a capacity of 2000 litres where the second fermentation, the malolactic one, takes place. After a period of 12 months of ageing, the wine is blended with each of the varieties, choosing the correct proportion of both with the aim of achieving a wine in which the qualities of each variety stand out in a perfect marriage.

White wine pairing -Enrique Tomás

Experts agree that, as a general rule, what goes best with a good ham is a white wine or even a cava. The reason for this is that white wine, due to its freshness and acidity, helps to cleanse the palate between slices of ham. So much so that it leaves the mouth prepared for the next bite without interfering with the flavours and textures. But Enrique Tomás went even further and wanted to seek out expert oenologists to find the ideal option to accompany the ham, so that in addition to letting us enjoy the ham as it should be, we could also enjoy a good wine to accompany it.

The two grape varieties from which this red wine is made are found in the Terra Alta D.O..

They are composed of 70% white Grenache and 30% macabeu from certified organic farming. The cellar is ECOVITRES, the vinification is done in stainless steel tanks for four months on fine lees. It is when tasting a wine with an intense and pleasant nose that one appreciates the notes of white fruits, citrus fruits and Mediterranean herbs, with a predominance of sour apples. A wine that expresses the purity and austerity of the Terra Alta territory.
