About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines are 35 years old on average and grow in approximately 2 ha of clay soils dominated by calcareous marl. Planting density is 4,500 vines per hectare, with an average yield of 50 hl. The vineyards have been farmed exclusively according to biodynamic principles since the cooperative was founded and are ICEA-certified.

Vinification

The grapes are destemmed and crushed, then macerated on their skins in stainless-steel vats for 2–5 days before spontaneous fermentation begins. The wines are made by hand.

Ageing

The wine remains in the same stainless-steel vats for approximately six months.

Tasting profile

Fragrant and delicate, with an easy-drinking character.

Serving and pairing

The label presents it as a “snack wine.”
