Winery Description:

Nestled in the heart of Cenicero, Tritium Estate Vineyards thrive on rich soils, calcareous clay, ferrous clay, and alluvial clay that impart bold and distinctive characteristics to their wines. The vineyard’s unique microclimate shields the vines from harsh winds, while their strategic orientation maximizes production and quality. Established in the early 1900s, Tritium remains committed to crafting small batches of natural, biodynamic wines with unmistakable personality. The estate’s historic charm is further enhanced by the restoration of a 15th-century winery in Cenicero’s old town. Featuring a stone fermentation lake and a dramatic 10-meter-deep cellar, the renovated space blends tradition with modern functionality. This transformation aims to create a wine tourism hub while preserving its legacy as a production site for Viñas Viejas de Tritium reds. Each bottle tells a story of heritage and craftsmanship, offering a truly unforgettable experience.
