Tasting notes

The vineyard is exclusively planted with selected grape varieties whose proportions have been studied with care. Additionally, the wines have a delicate tannin sap and a beautiful colour. Bottled, the wine acquires an excellent aroma, both fine and perfumed. This wine is in high-demand.
2016 is the first vintage.
