The Pinot Noir grapes come from the estate’s own vineyard sites at around 1,000 metres in Pallars Jussà. The calcareous, clay-loam soils are poor in nutrients; the altitude ensures slow ripening and marked day-night temperature differences. The 2022 vintage was hand-picked into 10-kg crates and fermented in stainless steel and historic stone vats dating from the 12th century, partly with wild yeasts. Malolactic fermentation took place in French oak casks. Unfined and unfiltered, the wine shows pomegranate and fresh cherry, with a medium-bodied, very smooth, long palate and fresh acidity.
