About the vineyard[+]

Sandy granite soils warm up in the day and cool at night which means grapes ripen more slowly and obtain stronger aromas and textures. Perhaps this special landscape and climate is the reason behind the unique and seductive mandarin orange aromas we have mentioned above. The tension and purity of these special soils are maintained by partly ageing the wine in concrete tanks to provide the balance to the warm climate of the region.
