The site is equipped with over 50 modern stain-less steel tanks while the stunning underground cellars hold 350 wooden barrels. An astonishing separate cave contains 150.000 bottles, while a historical reserve holds vintages back in time. Finally, the cellars present an extraordinary museal chamber presenting the historical mega wooden barrels. The estate produces gastronomic red, white and rosé wines that are praised by global opinion makers within the wine world and have been awarded with numerous international scores/medals.
