The estate's new white wine, an aromatic and elegant Malagouzia.
Vinification
The vintage is carefully selected under specific conditions in order to protect the particular aromatic character of the variety. After the harvest, extensive pre-fermentation cold maceration is carried out at low temperature and for 9 days without barrel. Malagouzia is the result of micro-vinification. Only 10,000 bottles will be bottled per "batch" to preserve, as much as possible, the aromatic surprise and complexity. In this way of vinification, the wine matures in its entirety and allows additional secondary aromas to evolve.
Aromas
In Malagouzia, the natural floral aromas of the variety predominate, together with botanical and citrus aromas due to the specificity of the area, which is determined by the altitude, the wide variation in temperature and the composition and humidity of the soil.
Combinations
Ideal combinations are light dishes and 'pure' flavours. The floral character of the wine makes it an ideal accompaniment to appetizers, light meals and fish dishes. But even on its own, in a glass as an aperitif, it is an excellent choice!

Aromatically, it brings together elements of dried fruit and black forest fruits. On the palate, it is exuberant, full-bodied and balanced. It has a wide palette of interesting textures, expressed mainly through intensity, velvety but robust tannins and balanced integrated alcohol.
Combinations
The exuberant character of the wine calls for fatty textures, meats or fish with sometimes smoked preparations. For more special occasions, ossobuco, foie gras with red fruit, oily and crispy sea bass, umami flavours, cigars and dark chocolate with dried fruit will enhance the tasting moment.
