The grapes come from predominantly sandy soils; the vines are trained in an east–west system and oriented towards the west. After hand-harvesting and sorting, the whole bunches are trodden by hand with their stems in an open traditional stone lagar. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts. The wine then matures for nine months in clay amphorae and for a further three months in bottle. It shows a golden to amber colour, aromas of flint, chalk and wet stone, and a dry, fresh, mineral and structured palate with pronounced acidity.
