Claudia’s is made from white grapes produced from our vineyards and from our neighbours. We do not follow a recipe. Grape composition varies from year to year, as we want to express the best that nature gives us each year. This white wine is rich such as pastry and cream, but beautifully balanced by a clean acidity and mineral after-taste.

Bright yellow with green hue
Wide and intense bouquet with pure expression of pears and acacia flowers with minerality showing through seashells aromas.
Fresh and round entry on the palate with creamy texture. The mid palate is opening up developing layers of fruits and herbal flavors perfectly entwined, like rocha pears, golden apples, basilic and chervil. The finish is yet showing another aspect of this complex wine revealing its tangy and citrusy character.
