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

Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in terracotta amphorae, including skin maceration. The wine is then aged in these same clay vessels to preserve its natural purity without any oak influence.
