Winemaking
White wines
The grapes are pressed as whole bunches in a pneumatic press. After settling for 24 to 48 hours in tank with no additions, the juice is put into barrel or tank. For fermentation, indigenous yeasts are mostly used.
Tasting Notes
White flowers, citrus and green apple on the nose. Raised in steel, the palate is crisp and lean, with a linear line of acidity and fine minerality. Savagnin adds a little spice and grip. Delicate and fresh, a topped up style rather than an oxidative one.
