Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
Terroir: The vineyards are located in the Struma Valley region, on sandy-clay soils with good drainage. The climate is moderately continental with influence from the Mediterranean Sea, which favors slow ripening and the accumulation of aromatic compounds.
Vinification: The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected. After fermentation, the wine is aged for more than 6 months in French oak barrels Ermitage and Berthomieu, which gives the wine additional structure and complexity.
