VINIFICATION AND AGEING

HarvestThe grapes were harvested on 15 October, manually, in small crates of 3-4 kg of grapes each. In the cellar, the grapes were dried in a drying room and then placed in pneumatic presses for soft pressing. This yielded a must with a sugar concentration of approximately 25 °Babo.
Vinification After 36 hours of static decantation, the must was sent to alcoholic fermentation: most of it in steel tanks, and the remainder in French wooden barrels. Alcoholic fermentation stopped naturally at around 12 °C (56 °F).
AgeingThe wines were then blended and bottled on 30 July 2020 in 2,830 bottles. Maturation of 36 months in the bottle followed.

ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS

Colour The wine has a beautiful, lustrous golden yellow colour that is very vivid and appealing.
Aroma The aroma has a good complexity, with notes that range from candied fruit to quince preserves over a good spicy base.
Flavour In the mouth, the natural sweetness is softened by the lovely minerality, giving the wine perfect balance.
