Concept (by APRT3): "The idea was to create a white wine with tannins but without an orange color. We thought of extracting seed tannins (that are less astringent), and limiting the extraction of polyphenols that get oxidized real fast. The Label is just a berry cut in half, and instead of seeds (that can originate a new life), the artist drew a human life originator - the Génesis of life."

Arinto harvested by hand and brought to the winery (walking distance). Grapes were crushed by foot treading and left to macerate for 2 to 3 days. Finished fermentation in an old barrel and grape seeds were collected from the tank and left to dry. The seeds to the barrel and the wine completed malolactic and aged for 15 months.  Moscatel was added before bottling  50mg/liter of sulphur added at bottling.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Fruity: Peach, orange blossom, lactic notes.
Mouth: Structured, very aromatic, some bitterness (almost salty) and soft tannins, with a medium long finish.
