Visual
Bright straw yellow color with greenish hues.
Palate
This delicate and harmonious wine pampers the palate with clean, fresh acidity and succulently salty taste and has a long and persistent finish.
Nose
First, the wine presents itself with restraint before revealing its complex potential in the glass. The initial minerally aromatic structure comprising flint, graphite, and slate is gradually overlayered by fruity notes of dry hay and exotic fruit.
Winemaking
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested at full maturity when the acidity levels are still remarkably high. After a maceration period lasting eight to twelve hours, the berries are gently pressed. For alcoholic fermentation, 25% of the must is placed in new tonneaux barrels and 75% in big wooden barrels, where the young wine remains for almost a year. This process gives the wine its smoothness and structure. Care is taken to avoid malolactic fermentation during this period to maintain the minerality of the wine. The assemblage then spends six months in a stainless steel tank for natural clarification. Finally, the wine is allowed to mature for twelve months in the bottle.
