Harvest record

2021 was an excellent year for whites, with balanced and healthy grapes. This wine is a field blend from a single vineyard. The grapes were manually picked and carefully selected. Minimalistic approach in the winery consisting of direct press of the grapes, controlled fermentation, and 7 month aging.

Tasting record

Color: Yellow.
Aroma: Floral aroma with citric and pit fruits, especially orange blossom, lemon, and peach, with a mineral touch for added complexity.
Taste: The wine appears dry with natural acidity, which gives it good intensity and harmonizes its alcohol volume. Noteworthy are the notes of citrus fruit and tropical fruit, with grapefruit and a soft touch of green pineapple coming to the fore during the tasting.
When to drink: The wine is ready to be enjoyed, but it also has a great potential for bottle aging.
