At our 50 hectares estate (23ha planted), high density plantings combined with traditional sustainable viticulture in a completely dry farmed philosophy,  yields powerful, concentrated grapes, with plenty of flavour and minerality, that embodies wines of tantalizing aromatic layers and immense texture. The Bella Elegance range comprises single-varietal wines focused on the fruit, while the Dom Bella range represents more structured wines and matured in oak, with incredible ageing potential (if you have the patience to wait).

Machine harvested and then placed onto a selection tray where only the best bunches will enter the winery. Destemming and crushing follow. Grapes are then transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Maceration lasts for approximately 20 days, using the delestage technique. The wine is then aged for up to 24 months in 225-liter French oak barrels (used) and then for another 4 years in the bottle before being released to the market.
