85% macabeo (ES) + 15% chardonnay (DE)
An elegant wine calls for dishes at least as handsome. And if possible, rich in protein, such as shrimp, scallops and classics like roast chicken or pork tenderloin. The wine to make your creamy pasta or asparagus isotto taste even creamier.

Our macabeo is an impressive grape that arrived at our winery on Sept. 12, where the grapes were fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. While we could have made it a monocepage, that doesn't fit the profile of our Sons line. Instead, we combined the grapes with our wood-aged chardonnay, which is also used for our beloved the Fat Lady Sings. The juice was aged in oak barrel for only 3-4 months, comparable to our The Fat Lady sings which will be released in September. The malolactic fermentation was quite late, due to the cold in our winery, so we were not able to bottle this aftertaste until May. Other than a small addition of sulfites - which we use to prevent the growth of unwanted microorganisms - and our organic wine yeast, this wine contains no other additives, just grape juice, in other words. We used a cellulose filter to filter the wine.
Our Fathers are classic wines and are made from the finest grapes from across Europe. These wines are terroir driven and a celebration of our farmers and that small piece of land that gave us this harvest. They are raised with attention and care but more importantly with a lot of patience.
The world of wine is one of tradition, full of rules, dogma and age-old etiquette. In our Sons line, we break that. Our Sons surprise and are therefore often made through unconventional techniques, using spontaneous fermentation and with the use of amphorae.
Our Grandsons are easy-going, playful and accessible European blends. We think they are the quintessential everyman's friend. Wines that we created together with our partners in Europe and our customers in Amsterdam, with well-known and popular grapes and with which we define the taste of Amsterdam.
