Vinification: Natural yeast fermentation for 4 to 10 weeks in stainless steel vats. The wine is matured on its lees in large barrels for 6 to 9 months. This lees contact contributes richness to the wine. What is more, the oxygen which passes through the pores of the wood brings about a gentle oxidization of the wine, and the subsequent opening up of its aromas. The wine is then bottled and matured for 1 or 2 years before being offered for sale.

Tasting Notes: Off dry wine whose structure combines acidity and mineral components. It’s focused and shows fruits like peaches, papaya and white spices. Balanced on the palate with minerals and exotic flavors. Pair with poultry, turkey stuffed with chicken liver, and thin slices of duck with green pepper very well, as well as roasts, game and lamb.
