Made from biodynamically farmed Verdejo grapes this orange wine from La Mancha is fermented with ambient yeasts on the skins for 10 days and aged in very large French oak vats for 6 months. The wine is only partially filtered and has an attractive cloudy amber colour. Lees aging helps round out the wine, creating a smooth and complex finished wine.
