Work with us

Back to nature! Nurture the vine and make wine the traditional way. Back to humanity too, simply by getting closer to nature and listening for the clues Mother Nature gives us, thus undoing the havoc wreaked upon nature by a century’s industrial unconsciousness. A fulfilling task, surrounded by nature and her gifts; in the intense summer heat or in the clear September light.

Vine-blossom and its winter repose. The vine forces us to follow cycles that are measured in decades, punctuated by unannounced, almost imperceptible signs from the plant that tell us the vines personality and temperament. The vine itself teaches us not only ancient ways to grow our food, but it also influences our way of looking at things by making us look for the very essence of what's around us.

Anything that man does to the soil upsets its natural balance and therefore should be reduced to the absolute minimum. The grass growing below the vines is mown and in the farm many nests are displayed, where birds, insects and bats (animals that help the grapes to ripen) can nest. The soil our vines are rooted in undergoes no sort of treatment whatsoever, we avoid chemical weed-killers, chemical or organic fertilzers.
