Ideal combination

Meat

Meat dishes pair well with full-bodied red wines — they enhance the flavour and soften the richness.

Match

Cheese

Cheeses pair well with wine: hard cheeses with reds, soft and blue cheeses with whites and fortified wines.

Match

Winemaking

Following a manual harvest with grape-by-grape selection, fermentation takes place in small oak vats with traditional foot-treading. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation and ages for 16 to 18 months in new French oak barrels.
