After aging, without the presence of sulphites, these phenols reach an orange hue, which varies its intensity according to the type of grape chosen. Only French oak is used, during fermentation and aging, for a total time of 6 months, 4 months of which the wine is in contact with the skins. Bottled unfiltered. Aromas of wildflowers, notes of citrus, dried fruits, black tea and honey. Intense, dry and zingy, the palate is bold and intense with a great citrus acidity, and the finish is beautifully complex.
