Description
Straw yellow colour. Fresh aromas of citrus and stone fruit intermingle with a saline note. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied with a smooth texture and the intensity of the fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and moderate alcohol. The finish is long and leaves a persistent mineral aftertaste.

Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and pressed gently to avoid extracting bitter phenols. The juice was left to settle and then put into used 228-litre French oak barrels where the alcoholic fermentation took place with natural yeasts at temperatures ranging between 18°C and 22°C. Bâtonnage was kept to a minimum and the wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for 12 months in neutral oak barrels.
