Chop the garlic, parsley, celery and onion and slice the carrot. Fry for a few minutes in a saucepan with the lard and butter, then add the pieces of oxtail and sauté for a few minutes. Then add the wine and let it evaporate completely, add salt and pepper and some sugar, then add enough water to cover everything. Cover the pan and cook over a low heat for 2 hours.
