Vineyards & Viticulture
Young vines grown on white clay soils, using 100% indigenous yeasts and maintaining a permanent vegetative cover on 50% of the surface. The plants have been designed using French rootstocks and Italian clones from Friuli, northeastern Italy.
Vintage 2023
The year was marked by a significant drought from November to April, with no rainfall during this period. In May and June, 400 litres of rain were recorded, which together with irrigation allowed the plants to follow their natural cycle. Temperatures during June and July were normal, but August was extreme, with many days reaching 35°C and tropical nights. This accelerated ripening, forcing the harvest to be brought forward. Although the influence on white grapes was minimal, some red varieties were harvested 2-3 weeks earlier than usual.
Harvest
We carry out a precise and selective night harvest per plot. Harvesting in cool conditions helps us to preserve the aromas. The location of our winery within the estate favors a quality result since a minimum amount of time elapses from the time the grapes are in the vineyard until they reach the protected tank.
Winemaking Process
White wine fermented with the skins with indigenous yeasts for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, which is carried out in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting Notes
The nose offers citrus notes reminiscent of fresh oranges accompanied by notes of mango and passion fruit, flowers such as orange blossom, jasmine and violets, and herbal, mineral and bakery nuances.
Food Pairing
All types of meats, fish, rice and cheeses.
