• Green salads with citrus or herb dressings
• Vegetable salads or grilled vegetables
• Cold antipasti platters
Poultry and White Meats
The wine’s acidity pairs well with subtly seasoned lean proteins.

Cheese and Light Bites
Crisp whites like this lift fresh flavours and balance creamy textures.
• Fresh cheeses (such as mozzarella or ricotta)
• Almond-based canapés

Aperitif
Served chilled on its own this wine also works beautifully as a refined aperitif before a meal.
For best enjoyment serve well chilled at around 8 – 12 °C, which helps accentuate its citrus and mineral profile.
