Harvest period: Early September: only the very healthiest, ripest fruit goes into this wine.
Winemaking: The grapes are crushed, after which the juice is chilled and left in contact with the skins (cold macerated) for a day, after which the fermentation begins using yeasts which occur naturally in the vineyard and continues in casks of 300, 400 and 500 litres. After malolactic fermentation the wine is matured for 10 months in cask during which fine lees are occasionally stirred up. The wine is bottled without being fined or filtered.

brilliant, light yellowish colour with a green tint. Very fresh, quite pronounced, grapey aroma with notes of ripe subtropical fruit, gooseberry and elderflowers. Similar palate with a good intensity. Medium to full-bodied, clean, very dry with a deliciously fresh aftertaste.
