On the palate there is high acidity, it is a medium-bodied wine, fresh, and textured. Visually it is a slightly cloudy wine because it is not filtered. The wine starts off with lemon-green tones that become straw-yellow as the wine evolves naturally, as well as the tones contributed by the wine's aging in oak. On the nose it reveals itself to be a wine with many layers. Its young notes place it in the range of flowers, white fruit, chili pepper, spices, tropical notes and honey. Other notes like wax, honey, tar, dried fruit, walnuts, caramel, and toasted hazelnuts appear as it evolves. It pairs great with seafood pasta, paella, gravlax, clams, prawns, mussels, langoustines alla busara, tuna sushi, lobster rolls, caviar dips, seared tuna, tiradito, chutney fish, ceviche, grilled octopus, anchovy toast. If aging is of interest, the wine evolves positively until 5 years after its vintage.

Low-intervention / "natural:" hand-harvest; spontaneous fermentation; no fining or filtration; small addition of SO2 before bottling. 20% of the grapes are fermented with the skins for around 3 weeks. Aged 12 months before bottling (80% in stainless steel; 20% in old French oak barrels).
