This wine presents delicate white flower and raw almond aromas, leading to a palate of rich grapey flavours, balanced by taut acidity and a saline character from its residual sugar. A versatile choice, it pairs beautifully with poultry and mild cheeses. This wine is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians, and while uncertified, the vineyards are farmed using organic and biodynamic principles.

Vinification
As the cellar is located 500 metres from the vineyard, the grapes arrived at optimum freshness. Upon arrival, the fruit was immediately pressed by gentle pressing for 8-12 hours. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks, using indigenous yeasts, for approximately four months at controlled temperatures of 16-20° C. The wine was then aged on its fine lees for 11 months before bottling, remaining in the cellar until ready for release.
