Fermentation in controlled-temperature conditions for approximately 10 days. Matured on fine lees to give volume to the wine. Blending of the different grape varieties. Sterile bottling.

Very fruity nose. Like fragrant pears. Dry and quite plain, with the merest hint of strawberry. OK, but not great.
