A blending of the 3 most recognizable world  white grape varieties, Viognier Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. An highly distinctive character with an excellent balance and an oaky touch.

STARTER: Cajun Chicken  Caesar Salad with Shaved Parmesan Cheese.
Wine: Altitude Red Ixsir
A blending of 4 different red grape varieties. Complex and silky. Very surprising balance overall. Probably one of the biggest surprises. It is kept in tanks and aged in bottles for a few years after winemaking. A demonstration of IXSIR’s wine making potential .

MAIN: Red Wine Braised Beef Cheek with White Polenta & Seasonal Green & Semi Dry Tomatoes
