Wine Description

It shows pale lemon with touch gold hue. Quite gentle, delicate on the nose, deliciously fruity, refreshing, very much as biting apple. Slightly less spicy than usually. Dry, medium to full bodied with slightly oily texture and moderate acidities. Quite intense on the palate with citrusy and appley character. Well balanced, savoury, great with food. A classic Pinot Gris from our place with fruit of Gris and freshens of Grigio.

Our vineyards cover 73 hectares, and the vintners work with a great respect for nature and tradition as well as a keen sense of trends.
