This was accompanied by a cured mackerel starter with a glass of en rama fino and followed by a chocolate dessert, paired with a 30-year-old palo cortado VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry).
The winning menu presented Sherry wines as the perfect partner and impressed the judges with fine cookery and appreciation for how best to serve wines from Jerez.
