Vinification
The white grapes, which are predominantly Semillon, are harvested by hand in baskets with a wire mesh to prevent the berries from deteriorating, and are then pressed in an inert atmosphere to preserve the aromatic complexity and freshness of the musts.
Owner's words
Deep, light yellow color, complex nose (citrus/white peach/verbena), enveloping mouthfeel from the outset, round, full, fleshy, lovely freshness on the finish to support the fruit, long finish.
