Medium-bodied and vibrant, with high acidity and a fine, gently textured finish from its time in barrel.

Leaf thinning in early spring aerates the bunches and improves sun exposure while protecting the fruit's aromas, and the grapes are hand-harvested into crates in the cool of the morning to keep their freshness. In the estate's gravity-fed winery the fruit was gently pressed under an inert atmosphere, then fermented in French oak barrels at controlled temperature with regular bâtonnage until dry; the young wine spent roughly twelve months in French oak, 10% new and 90% one vintage old. 2023 was a warm year with light humidity, a hot and slightly humid start and rain in late June, which demanded constant green pruning and vigilance against mildew across every plot. José Sanfins made the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 8–10°C.
