The vines grow on the estate’s high plateau at an altitude of 850 to 1000 metres, on calcareous and clay-rich soils with low humus content. The continental climate, with large temperature differences between day and night, shapes the freshness. The entire fermentation takes place in historic stone vessels carved into the rock; the wine was matured for 17 months in French oak casks. It shows concentrated spice, pepper, ratatouille, sandalwood and medlar, along with blueberry, chilli and coffee. On the palate it is long, firm and persistent.
