It combines well with salads, vegetarians specialties, pasta, cheese, light meat and even with blue fish

Wine-making
Fruit is stalked and softly milled. The must was fermented in contact with the grape skins, and was stirred several times a day (this improves the extraction of colour and a constant temperature.) Fermentation lasted 9 days and the average temperature throughout was of 25ºC. Ageing was done in American white oak casks (medium "toast" from Ohio) during 18 months.
