Tasting Notes(2)
3.8
Lovely entry-level wine. It's both easy to understand and also points toward more interesting wines. Notes of flowers, citrus, green apples, shells, and maritime hints. On the palate, it's fresh and citrusy with a nice texture from lees aging and a lingering smoky finish mixed with fruits and flowers.
About
Handpicked grapes are placed into small boxes and swiftly transported to the winery in a refrigerated environment. The whole de-stemmed grapes are then pressed, followed by cold clarification for 48-72 hours. A long fermentation process ensues at low temperatures of 14-18ºC. Finally, the wine is aged for a minimum of four months on fine lees, with regular bâtonnage to enhance complexity and texture.
