Who Is It For?

Ideal for those who appreciate a well-crafted white wine with a focus on pure, expressive flavors and an intricate winemaking process.

The Colombard grape undergoes a delicate cold skin maceration for 3 to 6 hours, followed by a gentle pressing to extract the best juice. This is followed by a cold stall at 5°C for a week, which enhances the wine's richness and aromatic complexity by extracting flavors from the settling lees. Fermentation is a careful process conducted at a maximum temperature of 16°C over approximately 3 weeks to ensure optimal aroma extraction. After fermentation, the wine is racked and the lees are resuspended to add depth and roundness. This process is repeated throughout winter with careful oxygenation to maintain volume and reactivate the lees. Final racking and filtration are completed before bottling, ensuring a refined and elegant product.
