Product notes

Pre-phylloxera vineyard, an old farm with two 17th century palmentos and vines that extend on the slopes of the volcano at heights varying from 650 to over 950 meters above sea level.

Production notes

Gentle pressing without destemming or fermentation at controlled temperature. 6 months on lees, on fine lees in stainless steel.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow with green highlights. Notes of wildflowers, acacia, apples and peaches as well as aromatic herbs. An incomparable minerality. Pairings with risotto and fish.

James Suckling, December 2023 (Vintage 2022)

Chamomile, crushed stones, salted almonds and pears on the nose. Creamy yet bright and tangy, deliciously mineral, with a medium body and a bright, refreshing finish. Drink now or hold.
