The vineyard was carefully prepared according findings of the experts
The soil was lavishly prepared before planting, with deep ploughing and addition of agricultural lime for pH correction
designed for optimal use of the natural resources - the soil, the sun and the sea breeze - and avoiding at the same time the negative influences of erosion by arranging the rows along the contour lines
Planted to Merlot (3 clones MO192, MO12, MO36 for greater complexity) on Richter 110 and Ruggeri rootstocks
vines trained to split cordon in a high 7-wire hedge trellis, with a spacing of 1x2,75m,
pruned to 6 bearers per running meter
Modern drip irrigation system, allowing additional watering during stress periods
Caring viticulture with attention to details, implementing the latest achievements of modern viticulture, IPW (Integrated Wine Production), minimum tillage and precision viticulture (in the truest sense of the
word, though including remote sensing)
Mediterranean climate with dry sunny summers and predominantely winter rainfall, with an average of 2750 hours of sunshine and 650 mm rain per year
