Production notes

The grapes are quickly transported to the winery to minimize skin contact before gentle pressing into a pneumatic press. The grape juices are fermented traditionally in stainless steel tanks during 7 to 15 days and also in oak barrels of 228 Litres for a tiny part (~5%).

Tasting notes

A powerful nose, dominated by flinty notes, blackcurrant and lemon. On the palate, this wine is intense and has minerality. Ripe Citruses flavors are supported by a long lasting and delicate acidity.
