Owner's words
The white grap harvest started on the 15 September : the grapes were healthy, with great aromatic freshness and good density thanks to the beautiful sunny weather. Initials tastings reveal great elegance. The whites are very fresh and offer good concentration with a beautiful fruitiness.
