NOVA VINEYARDS

Firtsly, we are winegrowers and owners in Bordeaux in the Saint-Estèphe and Lalande de Pomerol appellation.

In these turbulent times, we wanted to expand our offer. By creating this business, we sought to answer the questions and requests of our customers.

 

Today, it is essential to be able to provide guarantees of origin, monitoring and quality. This is why all our wines adopted a sustainable development approach, with organic or HVE certification.
