Spanning over 42 hectares of fertile, sun-soaked land, the vineyards are meticulously maintained to produce grapes of unmatched quality.

The softly sloping hillsides allow for excellent sun exposure, creating a perfect balance for grape cultivation: a wall of flavours, a robust structure, and a unique freshness. The Marianne Estate is primarily known for its production of red wines. Among these, the Cabernet Sauvignon, which is aged in oak barrels for several months, has a special touch with its notes of spices, black cherries, and cocoa. The Merlot, with its soft aromas of black fruits and roasting, is also highly appreciated. Interestingly, the Marianne Estate has adopted some French winemaking techniques. The traditional method of hand-harvesting is practiced to ensure the selection of the best grapes.
