HARVEST
By hand.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are hand-harvested in 20 kg crates and whole-cluster pressed. After 12 hours, the must is racked off and undergoes spontaneous fermentation in 600–1,000-liter horizontal tanks. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks on fine lees.
ON THE PALATE
Fresh and vibrant, with pronounced minerality and salinity. Notes of grapefruit and tropical fruits, including passion fruit and guava, accompany an intense, sea-kissed palate.
OCCASIONS THAT MAKE MAGIC
Seaside aperitifs, seafood lunches, and summer sunsets, where freshness and salinity make every moment unforgettable.
