Fruit is harvested at night to deliver the grapes to the winery at cool temperatures. Both varietals are macerated with skins for 3-4 hours looking for greater aromatic complexity. Varieties are fermented separately in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wines are aged on their lees in tank for a few weeks, prior to being blended and bottled.

Pale yellow. Lemon, apple and mint on the nose. Silky, faintly bitter orchard fruit flavors are complemented by notes of anise and spun sugar. Dry and nervy on the finish, with the lemon note repeating. Issue 145, July/Aug '09
