Date:14/02/2019
We are the first underwater winery and artificial reef in the world with over 8 years research in underwater wines. Our team of master winemakers, led by enologist Antonio Palacios seek out and blend unique terroirs based on years of experience. We then ‘treasure’ these wines in the sea to bring out their full potential. The results are limited-edition underwater wines of extraordinary quality. Located in the picturesque Plentzia Bay on the Basque Coast of Spain, Crusoe Treasure Winery has taken the art of wine making to new depths by perfecting the science of underwater aging.
We have taken the art of wine making to new depths by perfecting the science of underwater aging. Our wines are made from the finest grapes grown on land, carefully selected and blended by our team of winemakers. We seek out special wines and ‘treasure’ them in the ocean to bring out their full potential using a combination of influences from the land and sea. The results are limited-edition underwater wines of extraordinary quality. Crusoe Treasure Underwater Winery is a pioneer in innovation and marine conservation, after 8 years research in underwater ageing we designed the first underwater winery and artificial reef. Our 500m2 facility located at a depth of 20m, is home to hundreds of marine species. Through our wine we hope to bring greater awareness to protect our ocean treasure.
