Our Own Vineyards

Up to 60% of the grapes come from our 320 ha estate (790 acres approx.). Around two hundred hectares of the total surface are assigned to grape-growing, whereas 70 hectares of the property are planted with olive trees.

The upkeeping of the vineyards is always manual. The vines are not fertilised to achieve sustainable, long-term productions and to ensure a good alcohol content later, nor are herbicides used. Spur and cane pruning and clearing are made every year to ensure a reduced yet optimum grape production.

The rest of the grapes that come into the winery are provided by experienced vine growers, who have been working for us since the beginning. They are given a few technical guidelines, but we fully trust them as they are aware of the importance of quality and the respect for traditional, non-aggressive viticulture.
