Vinification
-
Perfectly ripened grapes are hand-harvested during the chilly early hours of the day. The bunches are then quickly carried to the cellar where they are gently pressed. The first must is pumped into 225-liter (60-gallon) small oak casks for 8 months. It is then blended in stainless-steel vats and finally matures for 12 months in the bottles.

Tasting Notes
-
Golden yellow with slight green tints at the edges and ripe apple, vanilla and citrus aromas, very well-integrated on the nose; balanced, complex and powerful on the palate. Pair with rich first courses, both fish and meat, and white-meat main courses.
