The 2023 season was mild and dry, resulting in smaller berries and concentrated fruit, while a cool ripening period preserved freshness. The wine was fermented and matured for 10 months in French oak, with 30% new barrels, building texture and complexity while maintaining balance. Residual Sugar 2.2 g\/L. Bottled at 13.5%.
