The vines grow near Turcifal, around eight kilometres from the Atlantic, on limestone- and shell-rich soils containing fossils. The wine is made with spontaneous fermentation; the wines mature for at least ten months on the lees, partly in used wooden casks or concrete tanks. In the glass, it shows a fresh, mineral style with peach, lemon zest and white flowers, along with saline tension, pronounced acidity and a medium body. The name refers to the fossils frequently found in the soil.
