The vineyards cover 220 hectares of hillside vineyards on clay soil interspersed with weathered granite on a granite base. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The cooling sea breezes and the altitude of the vineyards ensure a good temperature balance.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
