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.
