Technical notes
Vinification: the grapes undergo soft pressing before being immediately separated from the skins. The fermentation is carried out at a low temperature (18°- 20° C) on steel tanks, prior to refrigeration and static racking of the must.
Ageing: in steel for 2-3 months on its fine lees. After a cold stabilization in spring, the bottling process takes place.
Organoleptic notes
This is a white wine with a good personality. The colour is straw-yellow with greenish highlights. On the nose is full, with an intense bouquet featuring acacia and thrush flower, lemon, and unripe apple. The palate is nicely dry, full, and sapid.
Pairings
Excellent as an aperitif, it is its very best served with starters and fish and shellfish dishes. Its the perfect summer wine, but its gastronomic pairings know no seasonal limits.
