| Fermentation: | The clusters are gently de-stemmed, fermented, and macerated with their skins for 10 days. Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with local yeasts. The skins are gently pressed in a vertical press before being transferred to 228-liter French oak barrels. After 13 months of maturing and weekly lees stirring until racking, the wine refines and decants for 4 months in a concrete tank with its own lees to facilitate spontaneous clarity. |

ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Bright amber color with golden undertones. White floral overtones give way to citrus zest, baked apples with herbal undertones, and a dash of spice. Crisp and lively in the mouth, with a satisfyingly balanced core and robust, supple tannins. Aromas of green pineapple and melon are introduced to the nose in an evocative way. Well-built, enduring, and well rounded with a lingering, reviving aftertaste.
