They are selectively hand-harvested and moved to the presses by gravity, then gently pressed to obtain the first-press juice. After settling, fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in casks or tanks; the wine is then naturally clarified through careful racking, lightly filtered in spring and matured in casks or tanks before resting in the estate’s underground cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts fruit, freshness and subtle spice make it a natural match for spiced Asian dishes, rich shellfish and fresh cheeses.
