Product details
All the grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed, lightly crushed in a pneumatic press. The resulting must is decanted into 2,500 litre stainless steel vats for 24 hours at 10ºC and then transferred to new 225 litre French oak barrels, where it ferments for 25 days at controlled temperatures between 10ºC and 14ºC. It aged in these barrels for 9 months, with bâttonage.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
The nose is delicate, mineral with a touch of citrus. On the palate, it shows more complexity with some woody aromas, a pleasant freshness, slightly enveloping and flavoursome. This wine announces itself discreetly and then reveals a long, surprising finish with an elegant persistence. A good capacity for ageing in the bottle, benefiting from proper decanting, even when new.
Store and Serve Advices:
Serve at a temperature of 7-14ºC.
Food Pairing:
Good with seafood, grilled fresh fish, white meats and as an aperitif.
Allergens:
Contains sulphites.

Disclaimer:
The photo shown is a copy of one of the bottles we have available for delivery. Keep in mind that the older the wine, the more likely the bottle will have some external dirt or slightly damaged labels. This does not mean, however, that the wine is not in a condition to be consumed.
The wines from our rarity zone are stored and air-conditioned in the most correct way so that the wine ages correctly in the bottle, but over time, the wine evolves and changes its characteristics.
We recommend that you carefully remove the cork and let the wine air for some time in order to release its natural aromas. Avoid decanting as it can be a very aggressive operation for old wines.
