West-facing gentle slopes. Altitude 350 m a.m.s.l.; Hilly orography.
VINTAGE: 2021 summer was characterized by abundant rainfall, which resulted in later maturity and harvest dates.
WINEMAKING: The fruit is individually handpicked and whole bunch pressed to ensure purity and concentration of flavors. Fermentation occurs in stainless-steel tanks. Once vinification is finished, the wine is aged ‘sur lie’ for three months to add extra texture and complexity before being bottled.

TASTING NOTES: The nose is fresh and light, with elegant aromas of ripe peach, lemon and a hint of tropical fruit. On the palate, a dry, medium-bodied white wine with a lovely underlying minerality thanks to Salaparuta soil; notes of zesty pineapple and nuts with a long, clean finish.
