Tasting Note
Bright, herb-tinged Chenin Blanc: pear, white peach and citrus zest with sage, wet stone and saline minerality. Crisp acidity, medium-bodied and lively with a lingering mineral finish.

Food Pairing
Western: grilled or roasted white fish, shellfish (oysters, scallops), roast chicken, goat cheese. Asian: sashimi/sushi, steamed fish with ginger and scallion, Thai lime-and-coconut dishes, Vietnamese grilled prawns.

Production Method
Cold-pressed, fermented with native yeasts, partial malolactic fermentation. Aged ~11 months in stainless-steel tanks to preserve freshness and purity.
