food suggestions
Served well chilled, this wine is well suited to any seafood and cold meats. Also delightful on its own!
 
about the harvest
All grapes were hand picked.
 
in the cellar
After harvesting, all grapes were sorted before being crushed directly in to the press were skin contact was allowed for 8 hours. Pure yeast cultures were inoculated in the juice after pressing in order to optimize the fermentation process at around 16° C. Extended lees contact was allowed after fermentation and the wine was allowed to naturally clarify under gravity prior to filtering and bottling.
