Production Details Fruit was selected from high hillside vineyards with an average vine age of over 25 years. Thirty percent of the blend was fermented and matured for at least seven months in small oak barrels, with the remainder in stainless steel; after blending and bottling, the wine matured on its lees for an additional four years before disgorgement. The finished-wine summary also reports “Acidity 6 g/L” but does not specify the analytical basis, so it is not proposed as an unqualified total-acidity value.
Tasting Notes Vibrant golden colour; exuberant, persistent perlage; ripe orchard fruit, candied citrus, hawthorn, elderflower, white almond and pastry aromas; silky texture, fresh acidity, white-fruit and blossom notes, and a long dry finish.
