Our approach

We only select autonomous estates located in the major wine regions, with renowned territories. We give priority to winegrowers who are experts in their trade and developing a strategy for distribution and export.
  • A limited number of investors (max. 149) subscribe to the capital of a non-trading company. The exclusive purpose of the group is to invest in vineyard assets and to rent them back to the winemaker with a long-term lease. Direct approaches are unauthorised.
  • The person working the land. The company enters into a long-term lease with the winemaker so they are able to develop sustainable operations. The winemaker is selected for their technical and commercial expertise. Rent payments are distributed in cash income to shareholders, or as an option in bottles (conversion into kind).
  • The manager is fully responsible for the operation of the company and property in exchange for annual management fees. They are appointed by the articles of association have full responsibility. Shareholders are regularly informed of the group’s activity and the evolution of their investment. They participate in all collective decisions at general meetings, including the allocation of profits.
