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
Sliced citrus fruits and primary Sauvignon Blanc notes, the nose is intense. Round in first sensation, ample but fluid, the palate is very well-balanced in different flavors and finishes on beautiful citrus fruits aromas. A great pairing with fried scallops butter and soy sauce, fish with lemon juice, sliced chicken, and goat cheese.
