Description
The vineyards are found at 300m above seal level and the vines are trained on low cordon trellising systems on marl, chalky clay soils.
Harvest is completed entirely by hand and once grapes are at the winery, they are chilled for 12 hours overnight before destemming and a soft pressing the following day.
The must is then fermented in stainless steel vats with up to 6 months aged sur lie. Once bottled, the wine is aged for an additional 4 months before it is released to market.

Taste
A dry, medium bodied and crisp expression of Cortese; tart lemon and lime citrus zest and pulp, with crunchy green apple and bosc pear. Beyond the fruit is an underlying note of fresh white acacia and Hawthorn flowers, almond peel, and a crushed rock minerality. The wine finishes fresh and precise.
