EGIATEGIA is the pioneer of underwater winemaking, the first Winereef established in 2008.  Rocked by swells and tidal currents, the submerged winery is located at the deepest point of the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz.  Protected by the Artha dike, 15 meters deep, it resists furious winter storms and long west and north swells.  Since 2008, EGIATEGIA has set up this underwater wine cellar.  A discreet world first which can be visited in palms and bottles. 

We have two ranges of submerged wines:

ARTHA which comes entirely from underwater winemaking.
 This patented method gives the wine very particular aromas, which we are not used to finding in the world of wine.  In addition, we have decided not to filter this range and to retain the carbon dioxide from the second alcoholic fermentation so that it protects the wine from oxidation (we do not add sulphite.).

DENA DELA which is a blend of the same wine, part of which is vinified underwater for 4 months and the other remains on land during this same period.  Filtered, but not sulfited, this range is very slightly pearly.  It is this range that I would like to present to you. 

We are also in an ecological approach and very committed to protecting the ocean.  For example, we recycle our tanks into canoes and share them with associations committed to raising awareness among children and adults about the importance of the ocean.  The Thalassa show highlighted us during a nice report on this subject.
