16.90€

Tasting: 

Color: Pale white with golden highlights

Nose: Delicate and elegant, with floral and fruity notes. It features the freshness of apple and delicate notes of white fruit, accompanied by a subtle hint of vanilla from aging in acacia barrels.

Palate: The attack is fresh and lively. The palate is round and full-bodied, supported by lovely structure and a silky texture. Aging in acacia barrels adds finesse and complexity, with a long, elegant finish.

Food and Wine Pairings: It pairs wonderfully with seafood and grilled fish, pan-seared scallops, or asparagus risotto. It also pairs well with herb-roasted poultry and cheeses such as aged goat cheese or sheep’s milk Tomme.

Shelf life: at least 5 years

Winemaking:
The grapes, harvested by hand and sorted in the vineyard, undergo gentle pressing, and the juices are also selected as they emerge from the press. The must is maintained at 16°C for 36 to 48 hours to allow for natural clarification. Fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts and takes place in 400-liter acacia barrels.
The wine is finally blended again shortly before bottling, after having been exposed to winter temperatures.
It is bottled in late spring and ages for an additional 6 months in the bottle.
