Winemaking
100% of the wine is cask-matured (very little new wood is used – only 20%) with regular stirring of the lees while the two fermentations – alcoholic and malolactic – take place. This ageing ends after 12 months.
-
Nose
Highly characterized by notes of exotic fruits and white flowers, indicating excellent ripeness.
-
Palate
Rich and full of substance, it lines the palate without heaviness, supported by a judicious vivacity.
