Pairing guide
With its bright citrus notes, high acidity, and mineral edge, this wine is a perfect match for light, fresh dishes. Pair it with grilled sea bream and a squeeze of lemon, or a zesty prawn and fennel salad for something effortlessly elegant. Its subtle creaminess also complements soft cheeses and simple pasta dishes with olive oil and herbs. For a vegan option, try it alongside a lemon and thyme risotto or a chilled cucumber, avocado, and dill soup - both highlight the wine’s refreshing texture and clean, vibrant finish.
