Facatúa

The vines are located in Tierra de Barros, a wine-growing area characterised by reddish soils; the precise soil composition for this wine has not been documented. After manual destemming, the must ferments with the skins for ten days in a 400-litre clay amphora. It then continues to age for around five months under flor yeast, spending approximately six months in total on the skins. The orange wine combines fresh acidity with fruit, earthy notes, noticeable texture and greater depth than a classic white wine. It is bottled with no added sulphites and unfiltered. The name means “prank” or “nonsense” in the local dialect.
