Wild Boar Salami with Red Wine min 400g:
This salami is simply delicious, and has won a 3* Gold at the Great Taste Awards and is lauded in Michelin-starred restaurants at home and abroad.

With a 85% boar meat content and a hint of red wine this salami has a full and bold flavour to be savoured. Wild Boar are a native species and an integral part of the ecology of any woodland. Three hundred years ago wild boar were hunted out of Britain. The Gaskell family mission was to reintroduce that part of the Englishman's heritage to their Cotswold woods. The boar are of Polish and German origin and live in two family groups (known as sounders) with one boar per sounder. The boarlets are weaned at about four months and then separated into male and females so that they can concentrate on growing and not engaging in any funny business! The boar take up to eighteen months to mature.

Pulenta La Flor Malbec, Mendoza 2010
Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Malbec - A fantastic match with this Salami

The vineyards of Alto Agrelo well deserve the 'alto' epithet given that they are located at 980 metres above sea-level, with the snow-capped Andes not only providing a scenic backdrop but also a most natural source of water to nourish these rather privileged Malbec grapes.

Tasting notes
A longstanding stalwart of the Pulenta canon and the Berry's range, the Flor Pulenta shows exactly what can be done with Argentina's signature grape variety. Six months of ageing in French oak has added subtle notes of tobacco and vanilla to the naturally exuberance of the ripe plum and damson fruit; the wine is versatile and fruit-friendly, the lick of spice on the finish adding authority and underlining inherent quality.
