Vinification

Fermented and aged in cement tulips with a 4-month stage in French oak barrels without toasting. The wine undergoes a pre-fermentation maceration, followed by fermentation in cooled cement tulip vats with indigenous yeasts and aging on the lees for 12 months

Tasting note

Clean citrus and stone dust. Subtle notes of wood, flowers and yellow fruit such as peaches. Super intense and fresh. Long, taut, full of energy. Smells of the sea.

Serving suggestion

Excellent as an aperitif and delicious as complement of seafood and fish dishes
