Lote Negro by Bodega Norton is a bold and expressive red blend, typically combining Malbec and Cabernet Franc, known for its deep color, rich dark fruit flavors, and refined structure. Here are some ideal food pairings to complement its profile:

Meat Dishes

• Grilled Ribeye or Sirloin Steak – The wine’s tannins and bold fruit match perfectly with the char and richness of grilled beef.
• Rack of Lamb with Herbs – The mint and spice notes in the wine pair beautifully with herb-crusted lamb.
• Smoked or Barbecued Meats – Smoky flavors enhance the wine’s structure and complexity.

Rich Dishes

• Beef Bourguignon or Osso Buco – Slow-cooked meats in rich sauces work well with Lote Negro’s depth and body.
• Duck with Berry Sauce – A great match for the wine’s raspberry and blackberry notes.

Cheeses

• Aged Manchego, Gouda, or Comté – These cheeses balance the wine’s intensity and bring out its elegant finish.

Dessert (Optional)

• Dark Chocolate with Spices – Echoes the wine’s cocoa, spice, and minty undertones.
