Colour: Straw gold with a hint of green.
Nose: Aromas of candied citrus fruits, pears, limes and sweet floral notes at the end.

The Chardonnay vineyards have a (cooler) south facing aspect, and are 295m above sea level. Planted with a vine spacing of 2.5m x 1.5m in deep red/yellow soils with high water retention capacity, but very well drained.
about the harvest: Grapes were harvested at night.
in the cellar : Grapes were pressed in a basket press and only the free run juice was used. Yeast inoculation took place at low temperatures. The first sulphur dosage took place late to ensure a creamy and full mouth feeling. The wine stayed on the fine lees for 10 months with monthly stirrings to enhance the complexity.
