The quality is of our wine guaranteed by traditional winemaking methods used manual harvesting. The winemaking is under the supervision of our French oenologist, Yvan Jobard, a native of Burgundy. Organic certification was obtained in 2013 for the grapes and 2016 for all the wines.

​

The grape breeding and harvesting are set to favor quality over quantity. Imported from France they were selected from a field study and guidance of European specialists. Our choice fell on the following varietals: Marsanne, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. The pruning: The most important step during winter to control yield. Weeding: Hand and mechanically, no herbicide used. At maturity, grapes are harvested progressively between August and September depending on the year. The malolactic fermentation takes place in all of our wines. We use stainless steel tanks. We use indigenous yeasts (made from grapes) not the pre- selected one. Minimum quantity of SO₂ is used, less than 50 % of the maximum allowed amount. The light filtration helps keep the fruity taste of our wines.
