The grapes come from a single south-facing block directly below the estate, around 5 km from the Atlantic. The cool, windy site produces very low yields; the soil is described as granite. The whole bunches ferment spontaneously with natural yeasts in two open French oak vessels of 1,000 litres each and are foot-trodden daily. The wine then matures for 30 months in old 600-litre French oak barrels. It displays notes of white pepper, jasmine, wild strawberries, nutmeg and subtle smokiness, with fine, long tannins and a slender yet hidden power.
