Winemaking
The grapes are handpicked and taken immediately to the winery, where they are destemmed and softly pressed so that only the noble components of the must are extracted. Fermentation follows, partly in steel vats at a controlled temperature and partly in small French oak barrels.
Ageing
The wine portion that has been fermenting in wood sits in these barrels for about 12 months to develop its structure and brings out its aromatic complexity. It is blended with the part that has rested in stainless steel tanks before being bottled.
Tasting notes
This wine has a lovely straw-yellow colour with golden hues, and an intense, heterogeneous aroma. The oral fragrances suggest hawthorn and orange blossom, blending well with the fruity hints of ripe apple with a touch of banana and pineapple.
Best served
Between 10 and 11°C
Perfect pairing
With its fresh taste, it goes well with cold starters, seafood and fish dishes.
Storage
Keep the bottle horizontal, in a cool and ventilated room, protected from direct light and vibrations.
