Libalis is an excellent choice of wine for an aperitif and indispensable in any food and wine pairing.

Tasting: Straw coloured, bright and clean. On the nose it presents an explosion of fruit, (peach, muscatel, pineapple, passion fruit …). In the mouth it continues to be very fruity, dense, syrupy and well-balanced. Long and generous aftertaste, leaving behind a lasting memory of topical fruit.

Food pairing: Perfect accompaniment to rice, sautéed vegetables and pastas, as well as foies, ovenbaked fish and shellfish. It is also ideal as an aperitif. Highly recommended also with salmon and goat’s cheese. Should be enjoyed at a temperature of 9 to 12ºC.
