Winemaking
When about 90 g/l of residual sugar is left over, the wine is muted with pure alcohol (99 % vol.). The wine is fermented in vats, and then placed in a container where it is matured without malolactic fermentation in view of conserving all its freshness.
Tasting Notes:
Golden and very limpid, Asphodèles exhales refined aromas of citrus (orange peel), of pear, of peach and of white flowers. The well-balanced palate is a combination of sweetness, depth and freshness.
Food Pairing:
Perfect with all sorts of fruit-based desserts.
Service Temperature:
Best served at 8°C.
