Western: grilled scallops, asparagus risotto, roasted chicken, goat cheese, herb-roasted pork. Asian: miso-glazed cod, tempura prawns, sushi (white fish), milder Thai green curry, soba with mushrooms.

Production Method
Hand-harvested; whole-cluster short skin contact (brisat-style), spontaneous fermentation in stainless-steel/cement; matured six months in neutral stainless or cement vats; no oak; minimal intervention.
