Fresh palate full of mineral, salty notes with just a hint of smoky reduction on the finish.

Vineyards

Grapes are hand harvested.

Vintage

Early spring in Pyrénées-Orientales was unusually dry, to the extent that bud-burst came a fortnight later than in 2022. The generally dry summer limited the pressure of fungal diseases and ensured that the grapes were exceptionally healthy, drastically reducing the need for plant protection treatments. The higher altitudes where our vines are located contribute to more temperate nights, which keeps the aromatic freshness of the grapes. And surprisingly, despite the summer heatwave, the preservation of acidity in this vintage means that the wines are fresher and more harmonious.

Winemaking

After pressing, the must is cold-settled. Vinification is performed in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Ageing lasts a few months in order to keep all the freshness and enhance the minerality.
