Vineyard:
A fifteen-year-old vineyard standing on alluvial soil with an east/west row direction and perfect exposure for ripening.
Climate:
Enough cold during the preseason ensured even budding. Moderate conditions prevailed during most of the harvest with cool nights. Overall, the conditions are very good for ripening and harvesting.
Harvest:
The development of the grapes were meticulously monitored, and picked at the optimum ripeness during the second week of February. The grapes were night-harvested by machine. Production of 9000 litres per hectare.
Winemaking:
Grapes harvested at 23 B, destemmed, crushed, and only very clear juice are fermented with Vin7 yeast in stainless steel tanks at 13°C. After fermentation, the wine was racked of the lees, stabilised and bottled.
Tasting Notes:
This wine has an exuberant nose of granadilla, ripe figs, gooseberries, and passion fruit aromas. The wine is medium- to full-bodied on the palate with a fantastic fruit/acid balance and pleasant lingering aftertaste. Enjoy seafood or chicken.
