AIX White presents a pale straw color with delicate green hints, reflecting its vibrant, aromatic, and fresh character.

The aromatic bouquet is immediately captivating, with an enticing medley of fresh citrus blossoms, exotic fruits and ripe pear. Subtle undertones of white peach and apricot interlace with delicate floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle, creating an inviting and complex aroma profile.

On the palate, this wine is refreshingly crisp and perfectly balanced. Bright flavors of lemon zest and grapefruit lead the charge, followed by hints of juicy melon and a touch of minerality that adds depth and character. The mid-palate reveals a pleasing texture, with nuances of almond and a whisper of honey adding complexity without overwhelming the freshness.

VINIFICATION
Grapes were harvested in the coolest hours between 4am and 9am to ensure optimal freshness, preserving delicate aromas and minimizing oxidation risk. The grapes were directly pressed at less than 1 bar. The must was maintained at 3°C for 5 days to extract maximum aromatic compounds, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 15°C. All transfers occurred in an oxygen-free environment to prevent oxidation, resulting in a beautiful pale straw color with hints of green.
