The grapes were macerated from 15 to 21 days to obtain the desired level of colour and tannins. Fermentation occurred with selected yeasts during the maceration period, lasting 10 days at 24°C. Light pump-overs took place daily, to wet the cap. The wine was matured on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks for six months, softening the palate and bringing a velvety character to the wine.

A light and velvety wine with generous aromas of wild cherries, raspberries and blackberries complemented by hints of liquorice and garrigue.

Winery

The vineyard sits on stony hillsides of clay-limestone soils exposed to the rising sun. The five to 15-year-old vines are organically cultivated. The plots are manually pruned by the same team every year; the pruning is adapted according to the vine's vigour and the style of wine the plot is destined for. The vines are debudded, and unproductive branches are removed. Respect for the environment is paramount; even the vine supports are wooden to blend in with the landscape. Cover grass is grown between the rows during winter to protect the soils, which is kept low in winter by sheep that graze in the vineyard. A precise restructuring plan is followed, so every fallow is planted with flowers for at least three years to nurture the bees, improve soils, and promote biodiversity. Organic manure nourishes the vines, employing only copper and sulphur products. The use of these is reduced by applying tisanes of horsetail, nettle, and willow. Water management is key, and a drip irrigation system has been installed for judicious use when necessary.
