Secreto

Secreto

Our “Secreto” range of wines has a closely guarded secret related to land, proportions, and balance. Art and terroir have come together to create these wines in which the varieties have much to express.

The result is a line of blended wines made with a primary varietal component that is recognized and indicated on the label complemented by a closely guarded “secret blend” of up to 15% in each of these.

Most of our Secretos are made with grapes from young vineyards, which helps create a fresh and fruity style.
