The vines grow near Codegua on weathered granite with iron minerals; the vineyard was planted in 2010 and yields around 5,000 kg/ha. The hand-picked and destemmed grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, without temperature control, for around one month in 700- and 1,000-litre clay amphorae. The wine then matures for nine months in the same vessels and is bottled unfiltered. In the glass, it shows dark berries, tobacco and herbal notes, a creamy texture, lively acidity and grippy tannins, with medium to full body. Because of increased microbiological activity following rain before bottling, a small addition of sulphites was made for this vintage.
