Description

From a father to a son. A special version of Cuvée Augusto in which one can clearly savor the extraordinary ageing ability of this great wine.
A precious and unique cuvée aged for more than 10 years on its own yeasts.
Vinification

Whole-cluster pressing into separate lots of must, followed by controlled-temperature fermentation in oak ovals.
Maturation

Maturation take place in oak. In the following spring, the final cuvée is assembled, which includes a small amount of older reserve wine. The cuvée is then bottled and undergoes the secondary fermentation and ageing in the bottle for approximately 10 years. Following disgorgement, the wine ages a further six months or so.
Sensory profile

Shimmering gold in appearance, shot through with deeper gold highlights. Long-lingering bead of dense, tiny bubbles. The bouquet is pronounced and multi-layered, with fragrant tropical fruit, and a vein of minerality that provides a dynamic thrust. In the mouth, acacia honey and a hint of tropical fruit complement a creamy, silken mouthfeel. Ten years’ maturation sur lie gifts an unbelievably-complex finish that amazes with its elegance and clean-edged crispness.
