Winemaking:
Using organic methods, this wine is a blend of 100% Chardonnay, 30% from 2018 and 20% from 2017. It is fermented with indigenous yeast, with 15% of the wine undergoing malolactic fermentation. The fermentation and ageing process occurs in 60% stainless steel and 40% used 228-litre barrels. The wine spends 48 months ageing on the lees.
Tasting Notes:
This wine is delicate and nutty, with a razor-sharp focus and perfect grace, making it an exceptional Blanc de Blancs for those who prefer a drier and less rich style. It features mingling aromas of peach, white flowers, green apple, nutmeg, and toasted almonds. Medium to full-bodied, it is fleshy and enveloping, with a vinous profile, vibrant acidity, and a fine, long finish.
