🛠️ Winemaking Insights

• Night-harvested Sauvignon Blanc, gently pressed, cold-fermented, and partially matured (about 10%) in French oak barrels, with the remainder in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. Bottled early to retain vibrancy.

🍽️ Pairing & Drinkability

• Serve slightly chilled (8–10 °C).

• Excellent aperitif or mid-summer sipper; complements seafood (grilled fish, oysters), shellfish, salads, light pastas, and goat cheeses.

• Ready to enjoy now; fresh character is best through 2025
