The grapes are macerated on their skins for 15 days and ferment spontaneously with natural yeasts. The wine then matures for six months in stainless-steel silos; no filtration takes place. In the glass it is cloudy orange-yellow with golden reflections. Aromas of apricot, orange peel, honey, ginger, toasted almond and Mediterranean herbs combine with saline notes. On the palate it is full-bodied and dynamic, slightly tannic and characterised by pronounced maritime freshness.
