La colección
The Winemaker
When we created Bardos, we had the option of settling in the prestigious Golden Mile, as big wineries do, or complicating our lives and settling in the coldest, highest and most difficult area of the entire denomination. We chose the second option for a reason, if we wanted to make a daring wine we would need to be surrounded by daring people.
And the result has made it worthwhile. A collection that reflects the perfect balance between power and finesse, between complexity and intensity. Four elegant, fine tannin, very fresh wines.
