Notes on the Wine
This Sparkler is adiant golden colour with fine bubbles aligned with a persistent crown. The aromatics are fresh with subtle scent of orange blossom exuded by Torrontés, together with fresh fruity notes such as green apple and pineapple stemming from Riesling. The wine opens dynamically, with minerals and medium volume, preserving freshness, and closes delicately acid. Fresh and elegant persistence.

These notes result from certain traditional actions performed on the vine, different harvesting points and premium vinification techniques and technologies.
Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, concrete vessels and barrels depending on the target wine.
