Tasting notes
Straw yellow with greenish highlights. The nose of citrus, grapefruit and pale stone fruit develops into white flowers and exotic fruit. On the palate it is crisp, hovering on savoury undertones, with notes of dried fruit giving a lush, silky feel.

- Vinification
- After the harvest the grapes are gently crushed and then gently pressed, followed by static clarification of the juice without fining agents. The must is transferred to acacia tonneaux and ferments there for 15-20 days. The wine rests in the tonneaux, with periodic stirring of the fine lees over the winter. Bottling is in mid-summer.
