The restructuring of the estate by the Bronzo family was started in the
early 70s. The Mourvèdre variety accounts for more than half the vines,
giving the wine great aromatic depth. The 28-hectare vineyard is planted on
hillsides, arranaged into parcels, on very deep gravelly, stony soils of the
clay-limestone type. Vine-growing methods are very traditional, with regular
ploughing, organic fertilisation and no chemical weedkiller used. The grapes
are all hand-picked and put into small containers to ensure they reach the
winery intact. The very fractured land produces low yields, resulting in
very concentrated wines with strong personality and exceptional aromatic
power. The wine is rich, combining structure and finesse, fleshy and racy in
the mouth, with a long aromatic finish. It will age very well.
