Sanctus

Covering an area of 4 hectares, and with the possibility of expanding in the future to an area of 10 hectares, the Aouad vineyards are grown at an altitude of 900 meters on lands owned by the family since centuries. With the collaboration of French consultant oenologists, emphasis is made on the selection of grapes and vineyards which are grown, harvested, and turned into wine on the very same Domain of Chateau Sanctus.

Wishing to remain faithful to the concept of an artisanal and boutique winery, Ramez limits the production of Chateau Sanctus to 20000 bottles per year, thus giving his attention to the smallest detail in the art of winemaking. Keeping in line with the traditional craft, the Sanctus grapes are handpicked by a small team of laborers and transported within ten minutes and with minimum handling to the on-site winery. The process of vinification is then immediately launched. Chateau Sanctus is also an organic wine: all grapes on-site are grown in accordance with the principles of organic agriculture, and as certified by the IMC. This excludes the use of artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides.
