Tasting note
The warmer conditions of the vintage have resulted in a slightly fruitier wine than in 2021. Black currant leaf, pineapple, pear and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle wood spice. The palate is firm with characteristic saltiness, texture and length.
Culinary recommendation
This drop goes very well with fish dishes of all kinds, light meat dishes or with goat cheese and feta.
Vinification
The grapes come from three vineyards, which grow on a combination of sandstone and granite soils. The sites are between 213 m and 677 m above sea level and are planted with a combination of trellis and bush vines. The grapes receive plenty of sun throughout the season. After harvesting, the grapes are cooled and oxidatively pressed overnight. The juice is transferred to a selection of 500-liter barrels (20% new) and concrete eggs, in which spontaneous fermentation and maturation take place. Malolactic fermentation takes place with Semillon and occasionally with Sauvignon Blanc, depending on the vintage. The wines mature in barrels and concrete tanks for 12 months, followed by a further 2-3 months in stainless steel tanks.
