Winemaking

The grapes are picked by night to protect them from the heat and fully preserve their aromas. They go direct-to-press, are cold settled then fermented at controlled temperatures. The wines are then aged on fine lees in tanks.

Food & Wine Pairings

Powerful nose with notes of tropical fruits and citrus. Lovely fat on the palate with a trace of lemon that adds freshness to the whole.

To be enjoyed as an aperitif, then as an accompaniment to salads, grilled fish, white meats and goat's cheese.
