Tasting notes
Brilliant straw yellow with greenish highlights. Intensely aromatic nose of tropical fruit, citrus zest, stone fruit such as nectarine, and delicate white flower notes. On the palate, broad and textured with a fresh initial sensation, a fuller mid-palate and a long, refreshing, mineral finish.
Vinification
Grapes are harvested from certified organic vineyards and fermented separately by plot to preserve texture and complexity. The coldest plots are fermented at low temperature to retain citrus character, while selected batches undergo fermentation on the lees with daily stirring for added creaminess. A small percentage is fermented in barrels to introduce subtle vanilla and woody notes.
Ageing
Aged for over 10 months, predominantly in stainless-steel tanks on fine lees with regular stirring; a small percentage aged in barrels.
Food pairing
Excellent as an aperitif or paired with grilled seafood, shellfish, sushi, fresh goat cheese, and light spring dishes.
