As a main dish, we recommend a portuguese recipe made of cod loin, ideal for 4 persons. It is made by the famous Portuguese chef Diogo Rocha, and it is a typical plate of the south of Portugal.

We recommend pairing this delicious dish with a fresh white wine, Herdade Dos Grous Reserva 2020, with citrus aromas and toast from the wood where it aged. Structured and firm on the palate, it is a fresh and enveloping wine.
