Western: burbot, lobster, grilled scallops, creamy mushroom risotto, veal blanquette. Asian: miso-glazed black cod, steamed sea bass with ginger & scallion, tempura prawns, Cantonese steamed fish, sushi (rich white-flesh fish).

Production Method

Vines farmed biodynamically; hand-harvested, gentle pneumatic pressing, barrel fermentation and extended élevage in oak with a portion of new barrels; minimal intervention in cellar.
