WinemakingRigorous grape sorting by hand on conveyor belt. Whole bunch gentle yet long pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel tank under controlled temperatures. Lees aging for 18 months in the tank. Stirring takes place more regularly in the first months and when necessary for the rest of the aging period.

Tasting NoteBright lemon color. Mineral and flinty aromas on the nose, complemented by fine botanical notes. Full body with vibrant acidity, rich texture and concentration. Long finish.
