ABOUT THIS WINE
Blanc Magnifique is a white wine from Domaine Neferis, a producer located in the Grombalia region of Tunisia's Cap Bon Peninsula.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Blanc Magnifique begins with hand-harvested grapes from traditionally cultivated vineyards. Each varietal, Chardonnay and Muscat of Alexandria, is gently crushed and cold-fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. This technique is employed to preserve the primary fruit aromas and maintain the wine's freshness. The wine is then aged in stainless steel, with no oak influence, to ensure a clean and vibrant profile. The overall approach is one of low intervention, focusing on the natural expression of the grapes and the terroir.
