This wine has a bright yellow color with light green reflections. A fantastic and elegant blend, this white wine has lovely citrus fruit aromas that perfectly blend, the apple, grapefruit, mango and freshly mown hay notes. The taste is fresh, complex and well structured with aromas of peach, honey and pomelo, with a long and lingering aftertaste.

Grapes are picked only by hand, after manual sorting. They are then de-stemmed and rashed going direct in the press to separated the juice from the skins.

A proportion of 10% Chardonnay was aged in barrique, one year in oak and after blend wine from barrique with wine from tanks.
