From this Winery
This wine contains the simple, bare necessities. It is taut and finely-tuned, has intense floral flavors of citrus, minerals, white peach and apple blossom, overlaying a creamy, supple texture. Only fully ripe, healthy grapes are used.
From The Wine Doctor:
"A clay-limestone terroir. A fine, attractive, mineral-laced nose. Rather lighter than some on the palate, a touch leafy, but quickly revealing sweet fruit beneath. This is rather ethereal in style, with good substance too, backed up by fine acidity. Very good indeed."
Geared towards a sustainable agriculture in order to avoid the use of pesticides and herbicides, the vines are brought back into cultivation, fed organic manure and weeded mechanically. Tillage forcing the vines to sink its roots deeper to get a better expression of terroir.
The grapes are picked at the best possible level of maturity and should be perfect since no correction is made wine. The winemaking is performed without addition of yeast and without chaptalization.
