15,5 / 20 Points
Walter Speller, March 2024 (Vintage 2023)Rather neutral on the nose and with neutral yet viscous lemon fruit on the palate. Not without interest though.

Product notes
Soil of marine origin, calcareous with a high presence of fossils and white shells which gives elegance and complexity to the wines.
Production notes
The whole bunches are delicately pressed using a pneumatic press. The must is kept in contact with the lees for a few days at low temperature. Once decanted naturally, it is then separated from the coarse lees and fermented with 20% of the whole bunch in cement vats at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. The wine rests on fine lees for a few months in cement vats.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow color. Elegant and vibrant nose with notes of white flowers, green apple, citrus and lemon peel. On the palate well balanced between acidity and structure, with a long pleasant mineral finish. Pairings with quiche and seafood.
