Production notes
The harvest is manual in small crates and the grapes are fermented in the barrels of our cooperage, a third of which are new. Aging lasts about 15 months on fine lees before bottling.

Wonderfully balanced acidity with an abundance of white fruit complemented by intonations of spices, toast and creamy undertones. Pairings with quiche, ceviche and goat cheese.
