Created specifically for saganaki (pan-frying), yet versatile in many other recipes.

Our saganaki pairs with very dry, medium- to full-bodied wines based on Cabernet Sauvignon, or with full-bodied whites such as an oaked Chardonnay. It also matches summer whites with lower alcohol and delicate acidity.
