Rui Paula – Restaurante DOP.
For the celebration of Porto Wine Day 2017, a wine dinner was held in partnership with the DOP restaurant, in Porto.
In the menu chosen by chef Rui Paula, it was intended (in addition to the obvious, good pairings between food and wine) to give some unusual ideas and also to have proposals for comfort. And, at the same time, follow the route of the chef with the Milhos à Transmontana (Cêpa Torta), passing by the Octupus (homage to the city of Porto), the Portuguese cheeses (which should be increasingly valued) and the sophistication of the burrata with honeycomb and caviar.
As for the wines, Douro DOC reds were served with elegance, acidity, freshness, and different Ports, less sweet due to a longer fermentation, the result of which are more vinous and lighter Port wines, truly suitable for the table.
