Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Whole roasted striped bass stuffed with fresh oregano and lemon
  • Grilled prawns
  • Farro salad with feta and mint

This fresh, grapefruit-inflected white is made from the indigenous Greek grape, Robola, and provides a transporting waft of briny ocean air - no surprise given the fact that it hails from the island of Cephalonia, just off the western coast of Greece. Vivacious acidity and a lingering minerality (the grapes are grown on chalky soils) add up to a world class wine that begs for seafood.
