Discover gourmet ideas to surprise and delight your guests!

Discover CRUZ Espumante, an elegant and delicious 100% Portuguese sparkling white wine, perfect for enhancing your festive aperitifs. Floral on the nose and fresh and rounded on the palate, with citrus notes and fine bubbles, it’s bound to win over your guests. Pair it with smoked salmon toasts or prawn soufflés to reveal all its aromas.

To continue on this gastronomic journey, why not pair the flavours of pan-fried foie gras with gingerbread with the walnut, dried fruit and fig aromas of CRUZ Special Reserve Port? On the palate, the opulent notes of dried fruit and sweet flavours will bring out these food and port pairings perfectly.

Duck à l'orange makes an ideal festive main course, served with potatoes and sautéed green vegetables. To create the perfect marriage, enjoy it with a 20-year-old CRUZ Port and discover an explosion of flavours through its aromas of walnuts, spices and candied fruit!

Fans of cheeses with character? CRUZ Late Bottle Vintage Port will be the ideal partner, perfectly balancing the intense flavours with its rich, full-bodied aromas of mint, spices and black fruit.

To end on a soft and gentle note, continue this delicious meal with a zabaglione served with vanilla ice cream, which will be wonderfully enhanced by a CRUZ Colheita Port, with its blend of honey, dried fruit and spice notes.

Bon appétit!
