5 Course Portugese Wine Dinner at Sueño
Join Sueño and Portuguese winemaker Catarina Vieira on Monday, August 22nd for a 5 course dinner paired with 4 wines.In the Lower Alentejo region of southern Portugal lies the estate of Herdade do Rocim. Oenologist and winemaker Catarina has been coordinating the long overhaul of the estate and believes that Alentejo has the unique conditions required to produce world-class, age worthy wines.
Since purchasing the estate, Caterina invested heavily in the land by completely regenerating the vineyards and building a new state of the art winery. She focuses on indigenous, organic wines that are “elegant and sober, with freshness and minerality.” The most unique wines from the lineup are traditional amphora-aged wines. Amphora are large clay pots. The porous nature of the pots allow for micro-oxidation of the wine, similar to what oak aging does but without the taste of oak.The menu for this special event:
East Coast Oysters
paired with 2021 ‘Mariana’ rosé
Local beet salad, greens, fried goat cheese, champagne vinaigrette paired with 2020 Herdade do Rocim Amphora Bronco White
Salmon, corn and poblano puree, blackberry compote paired with 2019 Herdade do Rocim Touriga Nacional
Lamb barbacoa, chili guajillo adobo, hoja santa gremolata paired with 2020 ‘Mariana’ Tinto Red Blend
Lemon tart, mascarpone whip, orange zest
