As the label says, the vines are ungrafted. That's means that are not modified. Most of vineyards used for wine production are made up of two different plants spliced together. I my opinion, this is is a great moderately priced everyday wine with peppery and spicy notes, smooth minerality, medium alcohol and freshness. Versatile, it could be paired with many foods.
