Wine specsWinemaking
A batch of just 2,000 kg. of special grapes grown on 50-60 year old vines in an outstanding vineyard were hand harvested. The majority were crushed manually in a small, artisan-style stainless steel infinite screw press. The resulting must was macerated including whole bunches with daily punch-downs. The stalks were removed as the grapes became detached. Fermentation was carried out at a low temperature (12°C) before resting on fine lees for three months.
Harvest details
The grapes from the 2020 harvest benefited from a warm and sunny autumn that ensured excellent fruit maturity. The year is officially classified as excellent.

It has an attractive, focused and well-structured aroma. In the mouth, a crisp acidity keeps the herbs to the fore with a rounded, refined, almost creamy mouthfeel that lingers with hints of green apples, apple peel and baking apples. The wine has an appealing, refined and well-focused mouthfeel that lingers on in a long aftertaste.
