More perfect pairings: Iberian ham and wine, an ideal couple

A few weeks ago we suggested several ways to combine a variety of wines with Iberian ham and other sausages . Today we have selected different wines to combine with other delicacies of the house such as shoulder, sausage, loin or morcón.

A pleasure among pleasures, sitting at a well-stocked table to share a moment in good company, relaxing, having fun or simply tasting.

We begin to suggest options for 'setting' the table:

Iberian acorn-fed shoulder and Manzanilla

A bellota Iberian shoulder , slightly softer than ham but just as satisfying, benefits from the light and somewhat saline profile of a Manzanilla. This wine, with its freshness and marine touch, is the breeze that complements the Iberian shoulder perfectly.

Iberian acorn-fed loin and Rioja reserve

Iberian pork loin , with its firm texture and delicate flavour, pairs gracefully with a Rioja Reserva. The elegance of this wine, its balance between fruit and wood, and its persistent aftertaste, embrace the Iberian pork loin in a classic union.

Iberian acorn-fed sausage and Garnacha

Garnacha, with its aromas of ripe fruit and a light spicy note , aligns beautifully with the personality of Iberian salchichón . It is a pairing that celebrates life with every bite and sip.

Iberian Salchichón and Verdejo Wheel

Let's not forget the whites. Salchichón , with its more refined flavour, stands out alongside a Verdejo from Rueda, whose acidity and fruity notes provide a fresh and vibrant counterpoint to the experience.

Iberian morcón and sherry

A perhaps less conventional but surprisingly delicious pairing is Iberian morcón with a dry sherry. The complexity and intensity of the sherry, with its notes of dried fruit and a certain salinity, enriches the experience of morcón, a sausage with a deep flavour and dense texture.

What do you think? Surely as soon as you read it you already have your favourite pair or one has sounded better than another… the best thing is that you try it. We collaborate with 50% by making a wide selection of quality Iberian products available to you.
