Production Details The Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is 2.75 ha with drip irrigation and trellising; the Chenin Blanc vineyard is 3 ha with flood irrigation and pergola training. Viticulture is described as organic. Native-yeast fermentation in unlined concrete eggs lasted 15 days at 15–16°C, followed by 7 months in concrete eggs. The sheet reports residual sugar 1.47 without a unit and acidity 8.5 g/L without stating its analytical basis, so neither is promoted to an unqualified canonical analytical value. The Bacchus listing also states 7 months in concrete and recommends 7–10°C service, although its reproduced Wine Advocate passage instead says eight months, an unresolved duration conflict.
Tasting Notes Fresh herbs, citrus and tropical fruit, cherimoya and pear; firm, balanced and medium-bodied, with strong tension, sharp acidity and a long saline finish.
Food Pairing Aperitif; light dishes with white sea fish, prawns or shrimp and citrus-herb sauces; fresh mild cow’s- or goat’s-milk cheeses.
