Other White Grape or Blend

The grapes were harvested manually during the nights of the last days of February, when the grapes were fully ripe. 100% of the grapes were pressed to accentuate the natural freshness of the wine. A 30-day fermentation in stainless steel was followed by 5 months of aging in stainless steel tanks before bottling in October.

Tasting Notes

With a bright golden color, this wine has surprising freshness on the nose. Fruity notes such as peach, pineapple and lemon are predominant. The palate is very fresh, extremely tasty and fun.

Food Pairing

Because of its freshness, it’s an outstanding appetizer.
