Food pairing
Pairs well with lighter meat dishes, such as chicken or fish. It can also be served with vegetable dishes, especially in spring (asparagus).
Vinification
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks. Three harvests are carried out at different grape ripeness levels, with each vinified separately. After fermentation, the wines are blended on full lees until around February, after which the coarse lees are removed, and sulfur is added for the first time. In April, tasting and blending of the Sauvignons from the different harvests are conducted to create the final version. This is followed by at least three months of aging on fine lees. Bottling is planned for late August 2024.
