Deep burgundy red.
Deep, burgundy red in colour with dark after tones. Well balanced with a wonderful texture and velvety tannins, softening the innate zesty acidity typical of this Alpine variety. This wine releases aromas of ripe plums, figs and truffles. The firm acid backbone and fine powdery tannins show off the distinctive and intense fruit characters to full benefit, while guaranteeing this wine will improve for a decade and beyond.
This wine would be best served with rich pork dishes, cacciatore, and casseroles.
Fresh, lively and vibrant drinking now, will improve for many years. Likely peak 2024 to 2030.
Sourced from 20 years old vines planted rocky loam soils, located on the Central eastern slopes of the Pyrenees ranges at 280 metres. The grapes were machine harvested early-March, crushed, de-stemmed and pressed into stainless tanks. Fermentation took place over 18 days with selected yeast, after this the wine was transferred into French and Hungarian oak barrels (two and four years old). The wine was kept on lees contact for a further four months. Finally, after five months the wine was racked, stabilised and prepared for bottling.

Pink gold.
This wine is pale apricot to rose petal in colour, with golden facial stripes. No fining additives were added to preserve its enticing colour and aromas. Well balanced with a bit of natural residual sugar to round up an innate zesty acidity, typical of cool climate Pinot Grigio. This Pinot Gris is loaded with intense scents such as white peaches, honey suckle, nashi pears, apricot, cream and bright musk.
This Pinot Grigio would be best served with roasted turkey, tempura, Laksa coconut cream dishes, spicy Cantonese food or Madras curries. Also it can be paired with blue cheese or strong matured cheddar.
Ready to drink now, or will develop over the next few years. Serve lightly chilled.
Sourced from 12 years old vines planted on limestone and sandy gravel, located on the northern slopes of the Pyrenees ranges at 300 metres. The grapes were machine harvested in mid-March, crushed, de-stemmed and pressed into stainless tanks. 10% of the juice was transferred into French oak barrels (three years old). Fermentation took place over 15 days (in stainless) with selected yeast and four weeks in barrels (wild yeast). Both fractions were kept on lees contact for a further month. Finally, after five months the wine was racked and stabilised (protein and tartrate) and prepared for bottling.
