Viticulture

The viticulture is sustainable - the Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from both young and old vineyards that are between 130 and 25 years old. The majority comes from younger trellised vineyard. There are some plots of Cabernet Sauvignon that are head trained and pre-phylloxeric.

Farming

Sustainable

Terroir

The vineyards are planted on clay dominant soils on the slopes of the Nekeas Valley.

Vineyard

The oldest vineyards are Garnacha, planted in clay based soils at 600M in elevation between 80 and 130 years ago. There are 40 separate tiny plots of old clones of indigenous Garnacha. The majority of the Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay were planted in 1990 on trellises, although there are several small plots of Cabernet Sauvignon that are pre-phylloxeric.

Vinification

Destemmed bunches macerate and ferment in stainless steel tanks.

Aging

The wine spends 12 months in used French oak barriques.
