The grapes are machine-picked at night to preserve the fruit flavors. Immediately after picking the grapes are gently pressed and the juice is fermented traditionally in tanks during 15 to 21 days.
Intense gooseberry and citrus aromas on the nose. The palate bursts with exciting flavors of blackcurrant and vegetal notes, complimenting the refreshing acidity.
