Curiosity

At the corral Formigar, where prince Tocol once celebrated parties, where the wine warmed up the hearts of his guests, the harpist Lareyn was playing songs of the mountains and of the dark myths from earlier times, which belongs to the empire of the silver mountains, to the tables of heroes of Ey de Nét, Men de Fiér and Dolasilla. (Extract from the book of Hubert Mumelter “Wine from Rätien”).

Food Pairing

Best with venison, roasts, dark meat or hard cheese.
