More Info
We’re thrilled to get our hands on this highly sought-after red, which is approachable, grapey, and fun—ideal for low-pressure sipping with friends and family. Pair with lighter proteins like chicken, duck, or pork, cooked with simple methods like roasting or grilling to avoid overpowering the wine. Look for side dishes with bright fruit flavors like berries, cherries, or citrus to complement the wine’s fresh fruit character. The wine’s freshness also makes it a great choice for vegetable-focused dishes, especially with a bit of acidity like a lemon-herb dressing.
Cheers!
