Gourmet sherry and food matching experience at Evuna NQ

Sherry is one of the world’s most sorely underrated tipples, with variants spanning dry styles like Fino and Manzanilla to gloopier, sweet versions such as those from the almighty Pedro Ximénez grape. Championing the versatility and intricacy of the Spanish fortified wine, Evuna’s Northern Quarter restaurant hosts a gourmet sherry and food matching experience this March, with a selection of small plates each paired with the perfect drink. The 6 tapas dishes are: Fresh Scallops with peppered cauliflower puree Fernando de Castilla, served with Fino; Squid in fennel and coriander seed tempura, served with Fernando de Castilla Manzanilla; Peppered duck breast seared with balsamic reduction, served with Fernando de Castilla Amontillado; Glaician spiced Ox tail, served with Fernando de Castilla Oloroso; Pork Filletitos with caremelised onion, served with Fernando de Castilla Palo; Cortago Poached spiced pear with star anise and finest vanilla ice cream, served with Fernando de Castilla Pedro Ximénez.
