- It is a wonderfully aromatic wine with hints of lemon surrounding a peach, apricot, and pineapple core. Savoury and rich, with a lovely balancing freshness and a touch of honey on the finish.
The grapes were 100% destemmed and vinified in a combination of stainless steel tanks and glass fibre vats at controlled temperatures of 17 to 20°C. Fermentation took place with natural, wild yeasts and lasted 18 to 21 days, with weekly stirring of the lees. Maturation took place in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of the fruit; the wine was kept on the fine lees for up to four months, imparting texture. The wine was then stabilised at 8°C for 24 hours before being prepared for bottling.
It is a wonderfully aromatic wine, with hints of lemon surrounding a peach, apricot, and pineapple core. It is savoury and rich, with a lovely balancing freshness and a touch of honey on the finish.

Winery | The 160-hectare estate is situated in the Northern Gers, where the vineyards have a south-facing orientation to maximise exposure to the sunlight. The vines have an average age of 25 and are planted 300 metres above sea level. The soils are clay-siliceous and silty; they are cool soils which contribute to the freshness of the resulting wines, with alcohol levels that rarely reach over 12.5%. The vineyards are farmed sustainably; the vine clippings are crushed and composted back into the soil. Copper is used in the vineyard, but the use of pesticides has always been kept to a minimum. The vineyard is now converted to organic status and is farmed according to organic principles. Harvesting occurs in the cool night, between 3 am and 10 am, to retain freshness and quality. |
