The south-facing vines grow in the Aphros vineyards in north-western Portugal, on granite-influenced soils. The hand-picked, destemmed grapes ferment spontaneously with their skins in clay amphorae lined with beeswax. The wine remains on the skins and lees for around seven months and is bottled without filtration. It shows floral and peach-like aromas, citrus notes, lively acidity, light tannins and a slender, dry body. Maturation without electricity underlines its artisanal character.
