Golden colour with intense floral notes opening to fruit and honey, repeated on the palate with good body, persistence and balance. Complex and well structured, with a light acidity that gives a fresh, pleasant note.

Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes in perforated crates. About 50% of the grapes are destemmed and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. After a few days the must is run off and added to the must from the soft pressing of the whole grapes. Slow fermentation at a controlled 18 to 19 C, followed in suitable vintages by malolactic fermentation, then 7 to 8 months of batonage on the fine lees. Released in the second half of the year after harvest.
