About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit is grown in Puglia, where a broad Mediterranean coastline and plains gradually rise into low mountains. Fresh sea breezes cool the sun-baked limestone soils.

Grapes

Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are used in equal proportions.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. All winemaking takes place in neutral vessels to retain freshness and bright varietal character.

Tasting profile

Fresh, with bright varietal character.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif or with light dishes, appetizers, fish, seafood or poultry.

Label / history

The wine was created especially for the Galop company for the 2018 General Assembly of the International Equestrian Federation. It is presented in a distinctively designed bottle with label artwork by Misha Lenn.
