According to the retailer, the 60- to 80-year-old vines grow on weathered granite soils at an altitude of 650 to 820 metres. Following manual harvesting, the must ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeast and undergoes around 20 days of skin contact. The wine matures for around ten to twelve months in used or reconditioned oak tonneaux, followed by bottle ageing. Described aromas include ripe red fruit, balsamic notes, liquorice, chocolate and spices; the body is powerful, while the tannins are pronounced but not overpowering.
