Hand-picked, short macerations with slower, extended pressing times. Fermentation takes place in 1200L & 2400L neutral barrels and is spontaneous, using only native yeast. Some whole berries remain in the fermenting must to enhance the structure & texture, resulting in a wine full of character with excellent aging potential. Following fermentation, the wines stay on their lees for one full year, allowing for a natural self-clarification process to take place which also contributes to the complex nature of our wines. Bright golden yellow with green reflections. In the nose a touch of flint, aromas of perfect ripe and healthy fruits, zests of clementine, green apple and nutty and herbal nuances. A youthful wine with lively and well buffered rich, juicy, animating acidity. Dense and powerful on the palate, with fruitiness reminiscent of apricot, fine minerality, with grip! Creamy, yet silky structure. Long saline and crunchy finish. Natural cork.
