Intensity
Combining freshness and vivacity, this indulgent wine offers immediate pleasure, and can be enjoyed for its fruity freshness.
More infoThis cuvée (named after a cow) combines freshness and vivacity, a pleasure to drink, its fruity character bearing traces of floral notes and a stunning minerality. Maccabeu, Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris are fermented in new barrels where they stay for 10 months to create this wine. But don’t worry, the wood does not stop the wine from expressing its aromatic freshness. It can be enjoyed young when the fruit shines through or after a few years ageing when its mineral side takes centre stage.
