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

The Chardonnay is aged for six to eight months in stainless steel tanks on its lees before blending. The secondary fermentation in the bottle lasts for eighteen months, completed with a dosage of five grams per liter.
