The palate is taut and energetic, its pronounced minerality and lively acidity balanced by an elegant structure and a clean, notably persistent finish.\n\nIts freshness makes it well suited to enjoying in its youth; careful cellaring may allow the wine to develop further over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from vineyards at around 500 metres above sea level, where Alpine-Mediterranean conditions and temperature variation help preserve freshness. Clay, limestone and gravel soils contribute to the wine’s mineral character. The grapes are hand-harvested, briefly macerated and gently pressed. After natural clarification, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine then spends eight months on fine lees in a combination of stainless steel and large oak casks, without malolactic fermentation, before further bottle ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled, around 8–10°C. Its citrus freshness and mineral edge make it a natural match for seafood, shellfish, grilled white fish, asparagus and fresh goat’s cheese.
