About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in sandy soils containing clay and stones.

Grapes

The blend includes a small proportion of undisclosed grape varieties.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine matures for 24 months in French oak barrels, followed by six months in a concrete vat and a further six months in bottle in the winery’s cellars.

Label / history

The wine takes its name from Nectar Dei, a defensive tower recorded on the estate in the twelfth century and discovered there in 1183.
