The grapes come from several parcels in Val do Salnés, from around 40- to 70-year-old vines on granite and sandy soils. The wine is matured partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in large French foudres; depending on the vintage, it spends around six to eight months on the lees, without stirring and without malolactic fermentation. Stylistically, it shows citrus and orchard-fruit notes, floral nuances, taut acidity, mineral spice and a rather slender to medium-bodied structure. The combination of old vines and large wooden vessels defines its saline, Atlantic character.
