WINEMAKING
Night and morning harvest. Gentle crushing of the grapes – short maceration on the skin to get aromatic complexity – light pressing – pre-fermenting oxygenation – controlled alcoholic fermentation. Aging in contact with oak for 3 months.
TASTING NOTES
Bright and brilliant pale yellow color. Very aromatic nose with aromas of tropical fruits such as pineapple and starfruit framed by butter and fresh vanilla. Ripe, round, and mouthwatering palate with a lively acidity. Flattering oak notes linger on the finish.
