Clay, loam, and limestone soils provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine's structure and minerality. Grapes are carefully hand-delivered in small boxes, then destemmed and gently crushed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks with skin contact for full colour and flavour extraction. The wine is aged for a minimum of six months in stainless steel with no oak influence, preserving freshness and varietal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is expressive with ripe red fruits, hints of lavender, and a subtle touch of butter.
