VARIETY Chardonnay DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN Casablanca Valley SOIL Sandy clay with a depth of 2 metres. HARVEST The harvest was carried out from 7th to 24th March, the moment when the grapes possess their best aromatic qualities. The bunches are harvested by hand, during the first hours after sunrise, before being transported and carefully selected, to ensure the quality and character of this grape variety grown in the Casablanca Valley. VINIFICATION FERMENTATION 100% of this wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the varietal arom. AGEING After fermentation, the wine was aged over its lees for 6 months and battonage was used to gently move it so as to maximize the contribution made by the wine coming into contact with the fine sediment. 25% of the wine was aged in French oak for the same period of time as the part that retained its fruity component.
