Here’s the detail; plot selection. Soft pruning. De-budding. Large surface trellising. Harvest triage. Cool skin-contact maceration. Pneumatic sequential pressing. Cold settling on must deposits. Cool temperature fermentation (14/18°C). Then five months of ageing on spent lees with stirring in French oak barrels and concrete vat. Low dose fining. Tangential filtration, then on cartridge during nitrogen protected bottling. Fabien says; ‘Produced from our best plots, this reserve delivers elegant aromas of pear, pineapple, citron, queen greengage and almond. Ripe, concentrated, with fine depth to smoky, mineral - almost salty flavours. Fruits, mineral character, and a kiss of nuts linger on the long finish, unveiling a distinctive and complex identity – a sense of origin – for this wine.’ Show more
