Vinification
Cold settling is performed before the must is kept on the lees at a low temperature. Fermentation begins 8 to 10 days after harvest in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and lasts between 10 and 15 days at 16°C. Bâtonnage is carried out one month after fermentation, followed by aging on fine lees until racking.

Tasting Notes

White gold with silver reflections. The initial nose is subtle, with smoky, toasted, and mineral notes. As the wine opens, citrus aromas such as lime and grapefruit emerge, complemented by passion fruit, a hint of spice, vanilla, and almond. The attack is broad, with a rich and full-bodied texture while maintaining freshness. The finish reveals delicate notes of cream and caramel. The aromatic aftertaste highlights pastry notes, nuts (almond), and yellow fruits (peach and nectarine).
