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 production utilizes first-press juice and a blend containing 20% to 30% reserve wines aged in oak barrels using a solera system. The wine undergoes partial malolactic fermentation and ages on its lees for three years in the winery's historic cellars at a constant temperature.
