In the winery, the approach prioritises clarity, with careful settling and controlled fermentation, followed by restrained maturation to keep the finish bright and detailed.

Sustainability is approached through responsible vineyard work and thoughtful sourcing, aiming for healthier soils and balanced fruit so the wine can be made with minimal corrective intervention.

The winery behind this wine is driven by craftsmanship and detail, focusing on translating vineyard character into a style that feels authentic, polished and consistent. Behind the label is a hands-on philosophy, where decisions are shaped by the people leading the estate and their long-term vision for the vineyards.

Tasting notes

Pale gold with greenish reflections. Complex and singular nose of citrus, orange blossom, and lemon with intriguing notes of almond, honey, and subtle nuttiness. A slightly oxidative character adds dimension and Rhône-like weight. Fresh and mineral-driven on the palate with generous stone fruit and citrus flavours supported by the flint-rich limestone terroir. The high-altitude Mediterranean exposure delivers remarkable freshness and balancing acidity. Persistent and elegant finish with lingering mineral complexity and a distinctive saline quality unique to this ancient terroir.
