Ideal combination

Fish

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

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

Harvesting is done entirely by hand, and pressing is carried out by gravity to preserve the purity of the must. Fermentation takes place in centenarian oak foudres, followed by a natural resting period during the winter.
