Faia 2022 - Mai & Kenji Hodgson

Faia - Mai & Kenji Hodgson

Faia by Mai & Kenji is an expressive, complex white wine with excellent acidity. Obtained from pure chenin blanc grapes which come from small plots located on soil characterized by clayey sands, rich in quartz. Refines for 12 months in used wooden barrels. Given their goodness and very limited production volume, Mai & Kenji wines are almost impossible to find. If a bottle passes by, know that now is the perfect time to drink it.

Service

We taste it at a temperature of 8/10° in tulip glasses. Wine to be drunk immediately but will express its best in a few years.

Pairings

Excellent wine to combine with fish appetizers, first courses with vegetables, second courses based on white meats.
