DESCRIPTION

There are sensuous moments in life, for me one is to be in a vineyard on the seashore in the first moments of sunrise and smell both the sea and the perfume of the fruit that fills the air. All is silent. The vines talk. They say, “tomorrow or the day after, not later.” I agree. My wine is made when the vines talk to me and I listen. There are very few wines in the world this big, this complex, this powerful and yet so soft and elegant.
