Production notes

A light pressing to preserve the quintessential character of the fruit. Terroirs are blended: 50% limestone, 30% flint and 20% limestone clay. Each terroir is vinified separately in thermo-regulated stainless steel tank. Limestone brings minerality and finesse. Limestone-clay enhances fruit and richness. Flint provides structure and minerality.
