The juice is then transferred directly into 450-litre oak barrels, where fermentation and ageing take place over a minimum of 12 months allowing structure, texture, and integration to develop naturally over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"798\" data-end=\"1156\"\u003eIn the glass, the result is a wine where wood and fruit are carefully interwoven rather than competing. The aromatics are layered: ripe citrus sits alongside gentle oak influence, bringing both brightness and depth.
