Teia

Teia, Lagarde's new range of wines, is made up of two co-fermented blends that had minimal intervention in the winemaking process. With these two new creations, we aim to highlight the quality of the grapes produced by the winery's family-owned vineyards, a result of years of sustainable work on the field.
