What it pairs with

  • Trout with brown butter and almonds
    Almond notes in the wine echo the garnish; mineral acidity pairs with the buttery fish.
  • Mushroom risotto
    The wine's earthy mineral tension complements the umami character of mushroom risotto.
  • Aged hard cheese
    Saline mineral and stone fruit pair well with aged hard cheeses.

History
