Pairings

Vinification and aging:

Manual harvesting is followed by soft pressing. After racking, fermentation takes place at 18°-20°C. The wine remains in contact with the fine lees for several months. Bottling in late spring and a lengthy aging in the bottle.

Pairings:

balanced and fresh, with great character and surprising minerality.
Savoury aftertaste with a hint of Mediterranean maquis.
In addition to the classic combinations with seafood and rustic cuisine, it is an ideal accompaniment to fish hors d'oeuvres and goes well with cheeses that are not too mature.
