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

Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in large oak vats, where full malolactic fermentation also takes place. The wine then ages for 12 months in wood and an additional 6 months in stainless steel tanks.
