Worn in the Middle Ages, an Aumuce was a purple cap that served as a cloak for clergymen as a way of concealing their whiteness, just as the black skin of the grape conceals its white juices. In Latin, this cape is called en Almutia. A blend of black and white grape varieties.

Almutia is the definition of vivacity, liveliness, expressed through the pulp of mainly black grape varieties. The multi-vintages approach has been choose to bring complexity to the wine.
