Its success in pairing with red meats is due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sweet tannins: They help \u00abclean\u00bb the palate from the fat of premium cuts such as pica\u00f1a or vac\u00edo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black fruit notes: Complement the smoky flavor provided by our charcoal grill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structure: It has enough body not to be overshadowed by the intensity of an Argentine Angus Entrecote.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2114\" src=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/beber-vino-argentino-en-alicante-restaurante-scaled.webp\" alt=\"drink Argentine wine at a restaurant in Alicante\" class=\"wp-image-35221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/beber-vino-argentino-en-alicante-restaurante-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/beber-vino-argentino-en-alicante-restaurante-768x634.webp 768w, https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/beber-vino-argentino-en-alicante-restaurante-1536x1268.webp 1536w, https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/beber-vino-argentino-en-alicante-restaurante-2048x1691.webp 2048w, https:\/\/bacacay.es\/media\/beber-vino-argentino-en-alicante-restaurante-15x12.webp 15w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winning Combinations: From Entrecote to Steak Eye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/en\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/\">Bacacay<\/a>, Each cut has a different soul and requires a wine that enhances its virtues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Argentine Angus steak (\u20ac26): Pairs perfectly with a reserve Malbec. The complexity of the wine balances the power of this 330 gram cut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ojo de Bife (\u20ac27): Being a fattier and tender cut, a wine with good acidity helps to balance the juiciness in the mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beef tenderloin (\u20ac29): Being a leaner meat, we recommend a more elegant and less robust red wine so as not to mask its delicacy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tasting of Select Meat (\u20ac58): For this table designed for two people, the ideal is a bottle of red wine that is versatile and capable of accompanying anything from pica\u00f1a to sirloin steak.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whites and ros\u00e9s: What to drink with octopus or empanadas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everything on the grill is red meat, and our Argentine white wines also have a lot to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Empanadas Criollas and Starters: A young, fruity wine is ideal to accompany our knife-cut meat empanadas or a melted provoleta.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Braised Octopus (\u20ac22): Although it is a seafood product, the touch of the grill gives it an intensity that allows it to be paired with full-bodied whites or even fresh ros\u00e9s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salmon or Dorada (\u20ac17-\u20ac18): Served with basil pesto, these dishes call for an aromatic white wine (such as Torront\u00e9s) to enhance the herbal notes.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasting and tasting at Bacacay: Let us advise you.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/en\/contact\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bacacay.es\/contacto\/\">Bacacay<\/a>, Alejandro, Laura and Javier make sure that each client finds his or her ideal wine.
