Pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes such as grilled shrimp, lemon-infused salmon, or seafood pasta. Additionally, it complements salads with citrus vinaigrette dressing or light appetizers like bruschetta or fresh spring rolls.
Refreshing and invigorating, this white wine bursts with vibrant citrus flavors on the palate, complemented by hints of green apple, pear, and a subtle minerality. Its light body and lively acidity offer a well-structured balance, while its smooth texture leads to a clean and lingering finish. This expressive wine is perfectly balanced and versatile, making it an ideal choice for savoring on its own or pairing with seafood dishes, salads, or light appetizers.
The process begins with meticulous grape selection at the sorting table, ensuring only the finest grapes are used. Following this, there is a gentle 6-hour skin maceration period. The wine is then split, with half fermenting in concrete tanks and the other half in 225-liter barrels. After fermentation, the wine undergoes 4 months of lees aging with infrequent battonage. For further refinement, the wine is aged for 8 months in concrete tanks and an additional 9 months in French oak barrels. The barrels consist of a blend: one-third new, one-third second-use, and one-third third-use, contributing to the wine’s complexity and depth of flavor.
