When people think of fine wine, they often picture rows of oak barrels. But at Clos Ventas, we take a different approach.
Concrete tanks allow the wine to shine without adding extra flavours. Unlike oak barrels, which can introduce notes of vanilla, spice, smoke and toast, concrete preserves the pure character of the grape and the vineyard. The result? A fresher, more authentic expression of the wine.
Concrete is also naturally porous, allowing tiny amounts of oxygen to interact with the wine. This gentle process helps to maintain the pureness of the grape varieties we use.
Another advantage is temperature stability. Concrete helps maintain a consistent temperature during fermentation and ageing, creating ideal conditions for producing balanced, elegant wine.
For us, it's all about letting the grapes tell their story. Sometimes, the oldest techniques are still the best.
🍇 Pure fruit. True terroir. Exceptional wine.
