Tasting notes
Straw-yellow colour with light greenish reflections. Intense mineral and savoury notes. Marked herbaceous aromas of marjoram and thyme with hints of yellow fruits.
Vinification
The harvested grapes are de-stemmed, briefly macerated with skins, and softly-crushed. After pressing, the must is separated from skins by natural decantation at low temperatures. The clear must is then poured into stainless steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation, which takes place at a controlled temperature between 13°C and 16°C.
Ageing
In stainless steel tank at a constant low temperature before bottling.
Food pairing
Ideal with cheese appetizers, white meat and roasted fish.
