Taste Profile: This white wine reveals a fresh and lively aromatic bouquet, dominated by aromas of citrus, lemon, and green apple, accompanied by subtle floral notes. Mineral touches gradually unfold, adding an extra dimension to this delicate olfactory palette. It presents a beautiful liveliness and a light texture, with well-balanced acidity. Citrus flavors persist, accompanied by hints of white flesh fruits and minerals. The finish is fresh and elegant, leaving a pleasant sensation of purity on the palate

Winemaking Process: Fermented and aged in used oak for 18 months

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
