Mild pressing and 1 year aging in large old oak barrels, with malolactic transformation. The wine remains on its yeasts sur lie all year. Bottled without filtering and with minimal addition of sulfite.
Tasting Profile: The wine has a bright golden color and a complex aroma of dried flowers, chamomile, spices, dried fruit and honey. It is a harmonious wine, elegant, with nice structure and high mineral freshness.
Food pairing: Ideal with white meats, mushrooms (whether or not incorporated into a pasta) and some softer cheeses.
