Elaboration

  1. Mix the marinated sea bass with the diced beet, it should look like a red tuna poke bowl. Now we start playing with different tastes, textures and intensities of the cucumber & avocado.
  2. Next, we use our black garlic sauce, that has previously fermented at home during 4 to 5 months, giving it high intesity.

PROTOS VERDEJO

In this dish the earthy tastes of the cucumber, cilantro and beet bring forward the secondary notes of herbs that are so typical of the Verdejo grape variety. The freshness of this dish together with the freshness of our wine; will make this experience the perfect ending for these summer days.
