Ageing
15% of the wine for three months in first-use French oak
barrels.
Food pairing
Deserts like lemon pie and apple/pear crumble. Different
types of cheese (mainly blue cheese).
Tasting notes
A wine with yellow color and golden hues. The nose
displays delicate, floral aromas combined with exotic fruits.
The mouth reveals flavors of fresh fruit that combine with
honey and vanilla notes that are due to the oak. Its finish is
balanced, elegant and persistent.
Vinification
Destemming and soft crushing. Fermentation at low
temperatures (53-57 degrees Farenheit) so the yeasts (that were specially
selected to stand high sugar levels) can act slowly. After 8
days, 15% of the wine goes to first-use French oak barrels.
Fermentation is stopped with cold and due to the hostile
environment for the yeasts once the desired sugar-alcohol
balance has been achieved.
