The wine ferments at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks and matures on the lees for about three months before bottling. It has a residual sugar content of 55.6 g/l and acidity of 8 g/l.

Pale gold, green-highlighted appearance. Nose is ripe apple, dried apricot, and peach compote with hints of minerally slate. In the mouth, citrus peel and stone fruit with vivid acidity balancing the medium-sweetness, giving the wine lift and structure.
