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

The Encruzado, Bical, and Sercial grapes co-ferment in 500-liter oak barrels, where they also undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for 12 months in oak and an additional 6 months in stainless steel tanks to harmonize its structure.
