Crisp and Refreshing. On the palate, soft aromas of mineral and hay compliment stone fruit and light peach notes. On the palate crisp flavors of citrus accents grass and clay.

Cold maceration for 6 hours at 8 degrees C. The juice is extracted using the weight of the fruit pumping it to stainless steel tanks for decanting. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 12-15 degrees C. Selected yeasts without genetic modification were used. The wine is stored on its lees for the next 5 months to obtain a higher aromatic compound extraction. The wine is then clarified using bentonite clay, cold stabilized and filtered before bottling. Sealed with a screwcap.

Pairing suggestions: Grilled pork sausage or Quinoa salad with beets, goat cheese and toasted hazelnuts.
