Following a careful harvest, the winemaking team uses temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for gentle fermentation, preserving the grape's pure varietal characteristics and distinct mineral edge without oak intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlinting pale yellow with subtle greenish reflections in the glass, this wine opens with an intense, fragrant nose of ripe white peaches, pink grapefruit, and fresh lemon zest, underpinned by delicate floral nuances of jasmine.
