Proximity to the Atlantic and the nearby Montejunto range tempers the sunshine, a valuable combination for a variety prized for its naturally incisive acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand and whole-bunch pressed. Around 90% of the must ferments at a cool 10–12°C to retain citrus and mineral clarity, while the remaining 10% ferments in French oak, adding a discreet layer of texture without diminishing the wine’s racy character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale citrus yellow with bright, silvery reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLime, green plum and lemon leaf are joined by wet stone and a light suggestion of pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrisk and linear, with mouth-watering acidity carrying lemon, crisp orchard fruit and a cool mineral note.
