Tasting Notes: The palate is opulent between tension and finesse while leaving a fresh and mineral finish. Good and strong structure in mouth.

Fruit is hand harvested. After careful sorting and gentle extraction the wine is put into French oak casks of 228 litres (20% of new oak) for both of alcoholic and malolactic conversion with wild yeasts for 16 months on the lees. Fined and lightly filtered before bottling it according to the lunar calendar.
