handpicked selected grapes, 100% clean fruit without botrytis , soft pressing, spontaneous fermentation with the natural yeast (without any cultivated yeast) in 2.500 litre wodden barrls, staying on the lees for at least 6 month
bright gold green, very welcoming nose, elegant, complex and concentrated, very well balanced. Creamed meat and fish pairings
