Waar serveer je ’m bij?
From an old field blend vineyard, naturally fermented and twelve days with the stems left in — that is long for a white and it is what gives this wine its structure: stems bring tannin and tension, not fruit. Then twelve months in used barrels. Complexity fourteen against a weight of twelve makes it one of the most layered white wines in our range, and also one of the most demanding: it asks for a plate as slow as it is.

Minder geschikt bij
Simple, lightly spiced dishes: they do not get out of this bottle what is in it. And do not serve it too cold, because cold closes the layers up.
