Combine correctly a meal with the right wine is essential, because only then is possible to highlight its qualities and enhance its flavour. There are wines that are soft and light (such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay), so it is always recommended to drink them with appetizers, fish or foods without much seasoning. While full bodied wines as the Cabernet Sauvignon, are a perfect match for more elaborated dishes and mature cheeses, among others.
As part of Isla Negra website renewal, was created a section called Play, a space where the winemaker Cecilia Padilla gives tips on how to combine these wines with delicious and simple dishes that are perfect for certain occasions.

All this so that our audience knows more about the characteristics of Isla Negra wines, by giving some menu options for very common social, as a party, a romantic dinner, a picnic and a cocktail with friends. On the same page you will find a small description of the occasion and a list of simple dishes to prepare:  a risotto of sparkling wine, Camembert cheese with raspberry sauce, smoked salmon and cucumber with cream cheese, chocolate fondue, among many others delicious ideas. Along with the recipe, you will find the suggestion of the winemaker on the Isla Negra wine that best accompanies this dish.
