Pairings
2023 VIOGNIER
Pear + Vanilla Orange Blossom — Dark chocolate shell, organic pear, kumquat + orange peel, and white chocolate ganache. Viognier’s citrus blossom and jasmine pull forward the orange and pear, while its lift keeps the finish clean and refreshed.
2023 MARSANNE ROUSSANE
Lemon Yuzu— Dark chocolate shell, organic Japanese yuzu, organic lemon, house-made caramel, and white chocolate ganache. The wine’s gentle weight softens the citrus edge, while acidity keeps the caramel bright and awake.
2021 ESTATE SYRAH
Elderberry Cream — Dark chocolate shell, organic elderberry, and dark chocolate cream. Syrah’s dark fruit and savory depth meet the berry and cacao head-on — structured, grounding, and long.
