Our terra cotta clay vessels deliver wine makers a unique quality and taste not fully experienced since Dionysus and Bacchus celebrated their conquests.
The clay vessels are formed from terra cotta clay expressly prepared to duplicate the balanced micro-oxygenation of oak and they afford extraordinary thermal insulation.
Similar to the Georgian style of making wine in a Qvevri, Terroir Terra cotta vessels allow for physico-chemical characteristics offering perfect preservation of harvest sugars.
As noted by Alice Feiring, clay vessels give environmental conditions conductive to “early maturation with minimal manipulation.”*
