95 Points, Gold: “Great and rich aromas with delicate acacia, hazelnut, almond and a touch of honey notes. Plenty of sunny ripeness, concentrated and bright palate with floral,
fresh lemon, cedar, grapefruit and a hint of hazelnut flavours. Appealing, impressive body and structure with lush long finish.” – Decanter World Wine Awards (June 2022)
FROM THE IMPORTER
HARVEST NOTE The 2021 growing season consisted of a cold and rainy winter but also an unusual warm temperature in early spring interrupted by a few days of freeze resulting in a lower grape
production but with good quality. Manual harvest occurred in the early hours of the day to preserve the integrity of the grapes.
Grapes are hand harvested and selected in vineyard to ensure the best are used. All vines are trained in a normal system of counter espalier and pruned with Guyot. Average age of vine: Between 20 to 25 years.
TASTING NOTE Bright and refreshing with aromas of white flowers and flavors of tropical fruit. There is also a strong, but pleasant mineral component that is very evident on the palate providing complexity and mouth feel.
FOOD PAIRING A soft, easy drinking white that pairs well with pizza and pasta dishes. Also with meats like a grilled steak and pork.
