The grapes come from selected vineyard sites in the high-altitude Adrianna vineyards in Gualtallary and Domingo in Villa Bastías. Adrianna has gravelly, calcareous alluvial soils at around 1,450 m, while Domingo has gravel-covered, loamy alluvial soils with limestone at a depth of approximately 30 cm. The whole bunches are fermented in 500-L French oak barrels with natural yeasts; maturation lasts around 14 months on the fine lees, with bâtonnage. Around 30 % does not undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine is dry, full-bodied and concentrated, with aromas of pear, apple, apricot, citrus and jasmine, along with taut, mineral acidity. It is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
