Vineyard: Owned, cultivated with certified seedlings, trellis training system and maximum production of 06 t/ha.

Tasting 
Color: Straw yellow with golden highlights.

   
Aroma : Aging in French oak barrels adds aromatic complexity with notes of vanilla, white chocolate, and aromas reminiscent of pineapple and peach in syrup. The finish on the glass is reminiscent of honey.

Flavor: It has a balanced acidity, medium body, a long, pleasant, persistent finish with a distinctive aftertaste.

Technical Specifications
Harvest: The grapes are harvested manually, in 20 kg crates.

Pressing: The grapes are pressed whole, taking care to minimize their contact time with the skins to avoid extracting tannins and undesirable flavors. The pressing is done very gently, resulting in high-quality must.

Decantation: After pressing, the must is decanted at a cold temperature of 14°C for 18 hours.

Fermentation: The clear must is fermented slowly in stainless steel tanks for 25 to 30 days with temperature control between 16 and 18 ºC, thus giving rise to very interesting aromas.

Maturation: In stainless steel tanks kept on fine lees, with malolactic fermentation and aging in medium-aged French oak barrels for 6 months.

Alcohol : 11.3% by volume.

Serving: The ideal temperature to fully appreciate its qualities is between 8 and 10ºC.

Pairing suggestions: Appetizers, carpaccio, cod fritters.

It pairs perfectly with grilled lobster in butter sauce, but also goes well with fish in buttery sauces and white sauce-based dishes, cod with potatoes in olive oil, seafood, poultry, and pasta. Or even with medium or strong cheeses in the late afternoon.
