VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Harvesting time is determined based on the acidity of the grapes and their pH value. Once the solid parts have been separated, the juice is fermented at a controlled temperature of 16° - 18° C. Select yeasts are introduced to bring out the aromas typical of this variety. This is followed by a period of aging on “fine lees” to lock in the aromatics.
TASTING NOTES
colour: bright straw yellow with greenish flecks.
bouquet: a medley of elegant and well-pronounced fruity and floral aromas: pink grapefruit, passion fruit, white peach, hawthorn, green pepper, tomato leaf and sage.
flavour: the palate matches the nose impeccably: ample, with good acidity that gives freshness and fragrance. The finish is intense and persistent.
FOOD PAIRINGS
The elegance of its structure makes it ideal as an aperitif and paired with egg and vegetable appetizers, shellfish starters and white or green asparagus dishes.
