Vinification

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in second-use French oak barrels.

Ageing

The wine matures for 18 months in the same used French oak barrels, followed by approximately six months in bottle.

Technical data

Average production is 5,000 bottles. The first vintage was 1993.

Tasting profile

Fruit and floral aromas are marked by citrus, golden apple and linden. The palate is clean, fresh and savoury, with notable persistence and the capacity to benefit from ageing.
