To cure the issues, establishment of a trickle water system framework was made.

The wine is made with a mix of Grenache blanc and Chardonnay. A lovely light yellow shading. Aroma of flowers with traces of white peach. These two grape assortments award quality, nuance and sweet taste. The maturation of the wine happens in hardened steel tanks with temperature control.
