The fewer the grapes produced in an area, the better the wine

Poor, well-drained soils are best for good wines. The properties of the soil influence the vitality of the vine, which in turn affects the quality of the grape. Climate is another factor that is important for wine. Light and air humidity are important for the development of the flavor of the wine.

The right environment for your wines

A vine is an extremely sensitive plant. From the time it is planted to its maturing period and the time the grapes are harvested and the wine is made, it is dependent on three factors: light, air humidity and ambient temperature. This sensitivity continues even after the wine is bottled. To allow the flavor of the wine to fully develop or to preserve the excellent aroma, the wine has to be stored perfectly. Your wine cooler offers the best conditions for this.
