Tasting notes
The wine as a crystal-clear appearance tinged with pink mother- of-pearl. The captivating first nose is suggestive of grapefruit and vanilla. It then opens up with a lovely lemony and mineral freshness and an explosion of citrus and exotic fruit aromas. The complex ensemble is lifted by touches of wild peach, raspberries and mimosa. The wine is silky, luscious and tangy on entry to the palate, then becomes fuller, fatter and rounder with hints of mango and passion fruit. Its freshness, underpinned by the zesty character of lime and mandarin peel, leads to a saline finish with a subtle peppery persistence.
Vinification
The yields for this exceptional wine are kept very low. There is temperature control throughout the whole process of vinification. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.
Ageing
A portion of the wine is aged in spherical ceramic vats to accentuate the purity of the fruit.
Food pairing
Pair with delicate dishes and special occasions.
