In a region where granite covers 90% of the surface, this range also explores the rare schist varieties that exist and how the different soils are reflected in the wines. Granite is an igneous rock, naturally poorer in nutrients. With high acidity and a very low water retention index, granite soils cause more difficulties for the plant, resulting in elegant wines with mineral notes and an exuberant, fresh aromatic profile.

Tasting Notes

Color: Pale yellow color with hints of gold.​ | Aroma: Aromatic profile of great purity and fruit expression, highlighting citrus and tropical notes. | Taste: Creamy and velvet body, with elegant fruit always in the foreground, showing a lot of freshness. Long and firm finish.
