The soils where these vines grow are rich in limestone, giving intense fruit and liveliness. Three quarters of the cuve´e normally comes from the 90-year-old vines which Agne`s inherited from her grand-parents. The balance is from a young plantation, which recently came into production. This year, however, the proportion from old vines is much higher, as the younger plantation was severely frost-damaged. The wine has aged in not-new barrels for 12+ months. Lemon-golden, it has fresh, ripe aromas and is a splendid mouthful. Fruit is intense, acidity present in perfect balance, finish is creamy and long (for drinking 2023-2027+).
