The wine is fermented with native yeasts and the grapes go through natural vinification and stay on the lees for 5 months. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, is completed with complete absence of sulphite. Its color is pale gold with some green hues. Its aroma is expressive with intense citrus fruits, pear, nectarines, melon, fresh herbs and stone. In the mouth it is complex with lemony acidity but also with a creamy texture, a subtle saltiness and a long aftertaste. High acidity, finesse, 12% alcohol with long duration.
