Harvesting by hand at optimum maturity.
Vinification
Direct pressing of whole bunches. Selection of the best juices coming off the press. Settling. Fermentation in demi-muids.

Tasting
Colour: pale gold hue.
Nose: nose of grapefruit and slightly toasted almonds with some hints of bergamot and linden.
Palate: broad on entry and generous on the mid-palate. The citrus notes complement the hints of linden and soft spice. This all gives way to a long-lingering and savoury finish.
