Grapes grown in soils that are a mixture of clay and gravel are carefully harvested and fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. Along with the rich fruitiness, the wine has fragrant nuances of ripe apples and almonds. It has a smooth, rounded flavor with a good balance of firm body and moderate acidity. It goes well with creamy dishes made with chicken or salmon, and is a satisfying drink.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
It has a shiny pale golden appearance. When poured into a glass, it has a rich aroma of ripe pear and yellow peach with a hint of honey and white flowers.
In the mouth, the richness of the fruit and the delicate minerality of the granite blend together to support a firm structure. The soft acidity tightens the overall flavor, and the aftertaste leaves a pleasant lingering taste of gentle spice and complexity from aging.

Pairing
White fish meunière, creamed chicken, shrimp and scallop risotto
