- It is a welcoming, vibrant, and fruity wine with red fruit aromas complemented by delicate notes of cinnamon and wild herbs. The grapes were carefully selected at harvest; only ripe, healthy fruit was vinified. Fermentation occurred on the skins, lasting 10 to 12 days at controlled temperatures of 25°C. Post-fermentation maceration lasted five days, extracting colour, flavour and structure before the wine was pressed off the skins. 50% of the wine was aged in stainless steel for two years; 50% spent one year in barriques and tonneaux, followed by a year in stainless steel. The wine received a further 12 months of bottle ageing before release.

| Winery | The vineyard is approximately 620 metres above sea level, where warm days and cool nights encourage a long ripening period, concentrating the flavours in the grapes while retaining balancing acidity. The vines are grown in volcanic soils rich in minerals and fossils. The soil is permeable to air and water and is rich in pumice stone and microelements, which allow the plants to produce a complex aromatic profile. The espalier-trained vines are spur-pruned. The 10-year-old vineyard is cultivated following organic and biodynamic principles and converted to organic status. The organic sulphur and copper treatments are only used when powdery or downy mildew seriously affects the vineyard. The vine moth is combatted by using natural pheromones, which generates confusion in the moth and prevents it from attacking the fruit. |
