Founded several generations ago, the Gran Cavalier Estate has long been recognized for its robust and complex wine productions, beautifully reflecting the local terroir. The vineyards stretch across gentle slopes and quiet valleys, with deep limestone soils that favor the growth of diverse grape varieties. The combination of this rich soil, gentle Mediterranean climate and generous sun results in intense and flavorful wines. The Gran Cavalier Estate is particularly acclaimed for its Grand Cru Red Wine, a full-bodied wine with aromas of ripe red fruits, cloves and vanilla, aged in oak barrels for extended periods. However, its range of white wines, from the local Gellewza variety to the international Chardonnay, should not be overlooked. These elegant and fruity white wines are true to their Mediterranean character, offering a freshness that invites tasting.
