About this wine

Vinification

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand at the end of September. After gentle pressing, the must ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks. It remains in contact with the skins for 18–20 days, with daily manual punch-downs.

Ageing

The wine matures for 24 months in large 50 hL Slavonian oak barrels, followed by around six months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Clean and elegant.

Label / history

Annual production is 10,000 bottles.
