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

Cheese

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

Match

Winemaking

Following a double manual selection of bunches and berries, the must ferments with indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes ageing on fine lees for at least four months with weekly batonnage, adding volume and silkiness without any oak contact.
