Tradition, enjoyment and innovation are integral parts of Mathier's corporate philosophy. The Ambassadeur Fumé Gros Rhin de Chamoson is a prime example of the best winemaker of the decade consistently realising this philosophy in the glass. It is the innovative vinification process that makes this wine unique. The result is an extremely delicate and highly complex white wine that guarantees the fourth element of the company's philosophy: unique enjoyment.
A wine with enormous complexity. The freshness, an unusual note of tannins for white wine together with the vanilla notes from the barrel vinification complement each other in a fantastic way. The bouquet of the Ambassadeur fumé has a fine woody note and is at the same time very fruit-orientated. It impresses with its long, intense finish. The ageing in oak barrels and the tannins create great ageing potential.
The Ambassadeur Fumé undergoes maceration on the chilled mash. This extracts valuable flavours and structure from the grape skin before fermentation begins. It is then pressed, fermented in new barrique barrels and matured on the lees. It reaches its optimum maturity by maturing for six to nine months in barrique barrels.
