Vibrant, crunchy purple (violet?) and red fruit aromas and flavors. Slight natural must which complements the wine rather than disjoints it. Reminds me a bit of a Garnacha with added pepper and tannins. High acidity. Medium length. Nice balance.
The grapes are hand-harvested and de-stemmed. Maceration and spontaneous fermentation lasts for eight weeks (minimum) in clay amphora, with indigenous yeasts, under temperature control. No pumping over occurs. The wine spends seven months on lees. Aging takes place in the same amphora for 9 months.
