About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from the estate's youngest vineyards, located near the sea at 200–350 m above sea level. Yields do not exceed 65 g/l.

Vinification

Harvest takes place in late August and the first week of September. The wine macerates on the skins for 2–3 days before spontaneous fermentation begins.

Ageing

Six months in concrete tanks.

Tasting profile

Fresh, lively and very easy to drink.

Label / history

The name and the one-litre bottle come from the old custom of putting a one-litre flask on the table as a symbol of celebration. The shape and size of the bottle are meant to capture the joy and carefree spirit of spending time together. The wine is intended to express the essence of the terroir in a lighter, more direct way, without losing the estate's signature style and character.
