Sommelier’s tip: “The leg of lamb in this traditional preparation on a vegetable base, fudge and prunes must have the support of a full-bodied and complex wine. And that is Freixenet Cabernet Sauvignon. The spicy flavours of ripe fruits such as blackberries, blueberries and prunes, and the velvety tannins make the perfect partner to this dish. The full body of the wine and its long finish will enhance your gastronomic experience,” recommends sommelier Petr Mašek.
