Age of Vines: 70 years

Yields: 0.75 hectare of old vines Chardonnay 40hl

Pruning Method: Double Guyot

Soil: Clay and limestone with southern exposures

Vinification Method: Grapes are hand harvested and gently pressed. Only natural yeasts are used and the wine is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine rests on lees in tank for a year or more before it is bottled. Minimal sulfites are added.

Tasting Note: Nearly yellow in the glass with lovely scents of round citrus, beeswax and creamy minerality backed by limestone, sea coast minerality and supple inflections of blooming lemon trees. The palate is loaded with juicy lemon and silken melon flavors that are followed by pounded stones and succulent acidity. This wine is dynamic young and can age gracefully for a decade or more.

Pairing: Works beautifully with shellfish, grilled river fish, sea scallops sautéed in butter, grilled shrimp, chicken dishes, hearty garden salads, grilled vegetables and creamy goat or sheep milk cheeses.

Certification: organic – in conversion since 2021 (Ocacia)
