The Vineyard

The grapes come from vineyards located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, southeast of Bordeaux.

This area offers a great diversity of soils, from clay-limestone plots ideal for Merlot to gravel slopes perfectly suited for Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2022 vintage was marked by warm and dry conditions that favored excellent fruit ripening, bringing concentration, balance, and magnificent varietal expression.

Winemaking

Winemaking is carried out following traditional Bordeaux methods.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromatic purity of the fruit.

Subsequently, maceration is carried out for approximately 15 days at 28 ºC, favoring a gentle and progressive extraction of color and tannins.

The result is a wine where fruit and subtle aging nuances are harmoniously integrated.
