Terroir
Sandy and clay limestone. This rich and deep terroir stores the warmth of the sun and produces powerful and mineral wines. Boasting ageing potential, these fine products require time to reach their peak. Their aromas change over the years, evolving towards notes of chocolate and caramel. Facing southeast, "Sporen" is a natural amphitheater
