The presence of the Atlantic Ocean and nearby rivers flowing strongly affects the climate, smoothing the severity of hot summer days, a light breeze and soft clouds. 







In winter, the proximity of the water surface helps mitigate climate extremes. 

Harvesting begins after reaching a maximum maturity of berries. 
Picked fresh from the vineyards, the grapes are getting squeezed, not stirred… 



Fermentation happens in stainless steel thermoregulated tanks.  
Then the barrel aging process begins with a variety of French oak barrels. 
This malolactic fermentation in oak barriques last for minimum 9 months, which gives Merlot a richer flavor and smokier notes of vanilla, cocoa, and wood.
