Where the taste is born

Cellar

In the cool silence of the cellar, wine turns from young to mature. Here, in oak barrels, it gains aroma, structure and character.

The cellar is the heart of any winery. It is here, in darkness and cool, that wine spends its months of ageing, slowly becoming itself.

Steel and oak

Fermentation takes place in modern temperature-controlled tanks, and ageing in oak barrels. The combination of steel and wood preserves the purity of the taste and gives the wine depth.

For ageing, French oak is used — it lends the wine soft notes of vanilla and spice and a noble tannic structure.

Time as an ingredient

The best wines do not tolerate haste. Months in the barrel and the bottle round out the taste, soften the tannins and reveal the aroma — the work of time that cannot be hurried.

So from the grapes of the Savalan Valley a wine with character is born, ready for the table and for long keeping.
