«I pulled out all the stops to make this original blend. Very aromatic, it can accompany a meal from hors d’oeuvres all the way through dessert! The lively freshness of the Sauvignon and the rich exuberance of the Viognier, make an incredibly seductive wine. A perfect companion for fish, salads, and cheeses, it’s a wine to discover! »
