    about the harvest: Chenin Blanc with Botrytis. We are blessed with botrytis most years and with multiple pickings (4/5times) manage to maintain a perfect natural acid balance with the sweetness, creating a wine of exceptional finesse and balance. This rich, unctuous Chenin Blanc was harvested as late as May.
    Yield: 2t/ha
    in the cellar : We allow the juice to ferment in 400 L new French oak barrels with the natural yeast and to mature in barrel for 18 months.
