Description
This Chardonnay is planted halfway up a hill in limestone-rich clay soil; these features make the grapes mineral and delicately savoury. After harvest and fermentation in the cellar, the resulting must is left to age in stainless steel tanks. It is then bottled and put on the market.
It is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes.
Organoleptic Analysis
Its colour is straw blonde with a green hue; its scent is intense and lingering, with ripe apple, melon and banana aromas; it has a fresh and well-balanced taste. The right level of acidity makes this wine very pleasing to the palate.
Food Pairing
An excellent pre-dinner drink that pairs with everything.
