Description

“Taanug” means “pleasure” in Hebrew, and reflects the sensory experience this wine, inspired by Jewish tradition, offers. A deep ruby in the glass, the nose highlights red and black berries, blueberries, currants, spice, and savory herbs. On the palate, the wine is soft and balanced, with the fruit notes complemented by subtle spicy touches and an elegant minerality. It is ideal for pairing with dishes such as roast beef, grilled entrecote or duck confit. It also combines perfectly with kosher cheeses such as Manchego, Gouda or Cheddar. Pasta with tomato sauce or meat ragout is another excellent accompaniment, as are side dishes such as gratin potatoes or roasted vegetables. Kosher for Passover.

Bodegas Pinord

The roots of Bodegas Pinord dates back more than 150 years, back to when Miquel Tetes Valldosera, scion of a local wine-growing family, established a home in Sant Cugat Sesgarrigues. According to the family legend, Valldosera planted more than grapevines on this new estate, he also planted the seeds of a winery that would be known for its pioneering work even today. Founded as "Pi del Nord," Bodegas Pinord was not only the first producer of sparkling wine in Spain, it was also one of the first to pursue organic farming in Catalunya, and the first estate to receive a Demeter certification for biodynamic viticulture. Since the end of 2015, PINORD has collaborated with the World Nature Foundation, an NGO dedicated to conserving nature, biodiversity, and the environment. Today, the estate is run by the third generation of the Tetas Valldosera family, siblings Mireia, Josep, and Joan, and has expanded to holdings in Montsant, Rioja, and Rias Baixas.
