Pork Adobo

Description

Adobo is the unofficial national dish of the Philippines a must in every Filipino party.

Here Spain meets China in the kitchen! In fact "Adobo" comes from the Spanish word to "marinate".

Pork Adobo is then braised in oil, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, herbs and spices. The flavorful sauce calls for a medium red wine with good acidity: a fruity wine, with some residual sugar to fight the hot spices and low alcohol to not to overpower the dish.

In the mood for something stronger? Try aged and oxidative style red wines that match the meaty and gamey soy sauce flavor.

Generally Spanish Reds match the savoury soy sauce, while Italians match the vinegar.

Pork meat also pairs well with white wines, rosé and bubbles.
