Description
Soft pressing for more than 12h. Natural fermentation with no added yeast or sulfurous, at 12Âş), in second use oak barrels until the end of September 2017 (= almost 1 year fermenting), until it stops spontaneously. Aging with its own yeast in the oak barrels where it fermented, for 15 more months.
Beautifully honeyed and ripe Sauternes-like nose of peach, grape seed, pineapple, passion fruit, saffron, marzipan and tangy marmalade notes. The brilliant jab of wonderfully fresh acidity on the palate cuts through the honey and spice, butterscotch, mango and toffee and leads to a great lenght.
