Waar serveer je ’m bij?
One single vineyard with fifty-five-year-old vines on limestone and sand, behind the dunes by the ocean. After a light crushing the whole bunches steep for five days, then a gentle pressing in a small vertical press — the old-fashioned way, which presses less hard than a modern one. Then twenty-three months in old barrels. Eleven degrees of alcohol and still complexity eleven: little weight, many layers, and a saline finish that comes from those dunes.

Minder geschikt bij
Thickened cream and butter sauces: it is built on acidity and salt, not on weight in the mouth. A sweet sauce pushes it away altogether.
