Ideal combination

Meat

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

Match

Poultry

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

Match

Cheese

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

Match

Winemaking

The 2020 vintage was shaped by a dry summer that naturally restricted yields to just 15 hl/ha, concentrating the fruit. Hand-harvested in late August, the grapes yielded a wine of remarkable freshness and natural tension.
