Gentle pressing of hand-picked and hand-selected grapes, after which fermentation began in temperature-controlled stainless steel. During the course of fermentation, the juice was transferred to 500-litre vessels made from French oak, where it eventually finished fermenting and then spent a further 11 months on the fine lees. This helped to intensify its aromas and flavours.

Straw-yellow with golden reflections. Vanilla, orange blossom honey, apricot and a touch of hay on the nose. Minerally at first on the palate, before filling out into a lovely tension-building mouthfeel. Balanced and fresh with an exceptional finish. Let this wine breathe before you pour. Then it will be able to show its full potential.

Sourced from vines with an average age of 25 years, grown on calcareous gravel soils at an altitude of 60 metres above sea level in the Gris vineyards of San Lorenzo.
