It is beautifully perfumed with obvious floral notes combined with dried apricot and an underlying minerality. On the palate, it is structured and lively with a broad finish. Best to accompany fish dishes like grilled sardines, bouillabaisse, mussels or paella. Enjoy it as well with goat or creamy cheeses, on scallops or with asparagus. Recommended maturation potential: 5 years. No competition entered yet.
75% Maccabeu, 25% Viognier.
Slate with a high clay content.
The annual rainfall is more than 700mm, so irrigation is not necessary. The prevailing winds also decrease the necessity to spray. The vineyards are well established being on average over 35 years old and have no problem to ripen the grapes to full ripeness.
Hand harvested at optimum ripeness.
The Maccabeu was picked slightly early to retain freshness. It was oak fermented and kept "sur lie" for 6 months after fermentation. Fully ripe Viognier was blended with the Maccabeu base to enrich the wine. R/S: 4g/l.
