Ideal combination

Fish

Fish pairs best with white and rosé wines: they don't overpower the taste and suit different cooking methods.

Match

Poultry

Poultry works with light white wines — Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc — or soft reds like Pinot Noir, Grenache.

Match

Sushi

Sushi and sashimi pair well with light, high-acid white wines — they refresh the palate and let the delicate flavour of the fish come through.

Match

Winemaking

Fermentation takes place entirely in old oak barrels, contributing to the wine's roundness and integrated flavors. The secondary fermentation and subsequent ageing are conducted under natural cork, a traditional and demanding technique that enhances aromatic complexity prior to disgorgement with a dosage of eight grams per liter.
