Enjoy it with fresh oysters with a touch of lemon, smoked salmon with crème fraiche and delicate pan-seared scallops with citrus butter.

For dessert, enjoy it with zesty lemon tart or citrus cheesecake or light treats such as almond biscotti, white chocolate mousse.

The Chardonnay grapes are harvested early in the morning to keep them cool. At the cellar the bunches are whole-bunch pressed to allow for more delicate extraction and to prevent harsher, bitter phenolic components from being released. The juice is left to settle for 48 hours, after which the clear juice is racked off the lees. Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion fermented in French oak barrels at a temperature of approximately 13–14°C. The base wine is blended around August, once it is prepared for the second fermentation in the bottle. This crucial second fermentation typically takes two to three weeks to complete. The wine then matures on the lees in bottle for 18 months before disgorgement, after which the final dosage is added and the wine is corked.
