Vineyard cultivated following the organic agricolture principles. Sexual confusion traps to prevent the spreading of the vine moth, use of organic humus, sowing and green manure to improve the soil quality. We produce most of our electricity through on-site photovoltaic systems, using sustainable energy and reducing environmental impact across all stages of wine production.

Touch of polish add and extra layer of complexity. Delicate mid palate yet with notable concentration of flavour result in a very long cacao powder finish and mouthwatering chalky minerality of wet stones.
