描述

Production area:

Soil composition:

Marl soil (Galestro) and marlysandy layers.

Training system:

Spurred cordon with 5,200 plants/ha.

Harvest:

Manual, in cases, during the first ten days of October.

Wine-making and aging:

The raisining process takes place directly at the vineyard through a 20-30 days delay in harvest.
Must is extracted through soft crushing after a pre-fermentation cold maceration process of 12-14 hours;
fermentation proceeds for at least 15 days at low temperature (16-20°C).
The wine is then aged for 10 months in French oak tonneaux.

Tasting notes:

Straw yellow in colour with golden highlights.
The nose on this wine recalls classic muscat and strong ripe fruit aroma of apricot, peach and pineapple, supplemented by pleasant spicy and nutty overtones.
Velvetsmooth and enfolding in the mouth, it is extremely soft, round and gracefully contoured.
Excellent structure and nose-palate persistence.
