The soil is very heterogeneous, one field slate, volcano rock (porhyry and melaphyr) as well as sandstone. The slope is exposed to south-south-west and up to 60% steep.
After a late harvest in mid October and a short mashing time followed a long fermentation with natural yeast in the large wooden barrel and stainless steel tank.
The wine radiates a tremendous power and spice. Bound by a tight minerality and a fine salty note. The wine is very concentrated and still fine.
