Production Details Biodynamically farmed, hand-harvested fruit; after the two-day maceration and pressing, the wine was slowly fermented and then matured in stainless steel, partly on lees. The merchant lists residual sugar below 1 g/L and acidity of 6.6 g/L, but does not specify the acidity's analytical acid-equivalent basis; these figures are therefore retained contextually rather than entered as exact canonical residual-sugar or total-acidity values.
Tasting Notes Merchant description: ripe apple, citrus and subtle brioche-like notes, with a soft, round, nearly creamy texture and refined, balanced finish. Vinous, as reproduced by the merchant, describes a succulent, supple and round wine with restrained red-apple and pastry-like lees-derived flavors and relatively gentle acidity.
