Pairing guide
The Alceño ‘My Pet’ Garnacha 2023 is your new go-to for juicy, easygoing reds with a playful streak. Bursting with ripe red berries, a hint of spice, and a silky smooth finish, it’s like that friend who’s effortlessly cool but never tries too hard. This Garnacha loves a good grazing board—think jamón, manchego, and olives—or anything chargrilled and smoky, like lamb skewers or roasted veggie tacos. It’s equally happy alongside a saucy pasta or your favourite Friday night pizza - pineapple optional, we won’t judge!
