Winemaking
Short maceration in contact with the skins and fermentation in stainless steel. Once the fermentation is almost finished, the wine is transferred to custom locally-made clay amphora with no temperature control. Maturation in amphoras in contact with fine lees during 4 – 6 months.
Tasting notes
Elegant and subtle nose with notes of heather and orchard blossom. A silky palate with tremendous length and a rounded mineral element. A wine with a unique personality showcasing a grape seldom seen in monovarietal form.
Food pairing
White fish, white asparagus, fresh green salads, crab meat, avocado.
