About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes are grown using sustainable farming practices.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, gently whole-cluster pressed and separated into fractions. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks with selected yeasts. The temperature is gradually reduced to 10 °C to prevent malolactic fermentation. Tirage liqueur is then added before the wine is bottled and sealed for secondary fermentation.

Ageing

The wine ages on its lees for 24 months.

Tasting profile

Refined and elegant.
