A wine of true pedigree, this displays beautifully refined and complex aromas of beeswax, honey, white peach, frankincense and honeysuckle. The aromas may suggest sweetness, but the palate is as dry and stony as the terrifyingly steep hillside on which the grapes are grown. It has terrific intensity, but if you can hold on to a few bottles for two or three years, it will undoubtedly reward patience.

Winemaking
After harvesting, the grapes were macerated for a short time (15-18 hours) before pressing. This step achieved very clear and highly aromatic juice, adding more intensity to the wine. Fermentation and maturation was mostly in large, old oak barrels (50-70 years old) for 19 months.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
The balance of freshness and richness give some exciting possibilities. Try it with grilled fish with exotic salads, or lightly roasted roasted beef with lemon garlic marinade.
