Production
The grapes were extremely healthy and no sorting was necessary this year. In the cellar, the grapes were gently pressed as whole bunches. Fermented and matured mainly in stainless steel, 20% in used oak barrels. With a nice long storage on the yeast, the first batch was bottled in January 2022.

Tasting notes
Nice clear scent of ripe pears, melons and a hint of citrus. The scent hasn't been this intense in a long time. It was 20% in used large oak barrels. Wood aromas are completely in the background and barely perceptible. As the vintage has 14% vol. we left it on the yeast for an extra long time to integrate everything perfectly. The wine is very full-bodied, with power and a lot of mellowness thanks to the yeast. The acidity is pleasant and everything together results in a beautiful, powerful harmony with a very good drinking flow.
