Rioja

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Tempranillo-based blend from northern Spain, traditionally oak-aged into something quietly profound. Cherry, dill, vanilla, leather; great with lamb, paella, and aged Manchego.

Why it works with Gratin Village Cheddar

Rioja's mid-weight handles Gratin Village Cheddar without overpowering it — neither pulls focus.

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Gratin Village Cheddar

Sauvignon Blanc's bright acid lifts Gratin Village Cheddar cleanly — the lean white strategy.
