Production Details Strictly hand-selected in late October from 100% healthy fruit; gently crushed and macerated on the aroma- and mineral-rich skins for several hours. The must fermented spontaneously, slowly and coolly. Gentle maturation in a large wooden cask and a long period on the lees followed fermentation. The producer recommends serving at 10–12°C, decanting and using a large glass.
Food Pairing Fresh, boldly seasoned dishes such as cod fillet in coconut-lime broth with roast potatoes and spinach, turkey steaks with Mediterranean roasted vegetables, or orange-fennel salad with fried prawns.
