The property includes a world-class winery and cellars, a 125-acre nature preserve, the showpiece Killka Center for Culture and the Arts, a nearby lodge (the Posada Salentein, offering an elegant and relaxing retreat into nature), and the landmark Chapel of Gratitude, a non-denominational chapel of ascetic loveliness, built using ancient local stonework techniques. TERROIR & VINTAGE NOTES Grapes were sourced from selected parcels of the El Oasis estate vineyards, planted in 2003 and situated at 1,100 metres above sea level.
