Chateau Trois Collines Organic Nysa White Wine 2021

Aïn Bourdaï, Baalbeck Region, North Bekaa Hills at the Western Slopes of the Anti-Lebanon… Altitude 1500m (On average!) which slows maturity and optimizes the sugar / acidity balance… Major exposure South –Ouest; Soil shallow in the rocky spots, calcareous (lime stone), pebbles and clay in some plots! Isolated terroir which favours the organic feature, being very distant from other vine cultures (low contamination with parasites and diseases)!
