Favas Estate

Geoffrey and Samuel Masse share the same passion for this trade, with the desire to produce organic wines reflecting their personality and deep values in a unique environment, in order to preserve the soils and promote biodiversity.

A domain where 22 generations have succeeded each other, each adding their stone to the edifice in respect of this long family tradition. In the past, viticulture was not always the sole activity: Often combined with sheep farming, the production of olives and silk worms, but it has always been part of the landscape. Today the two brothers maintain a unity and continuity over time.

Converting the vineyard to organic farming was a given, but our commitment goes further. We maintain and plant shrubs, like wild figs and pistachios to promote biodiversity. We restore dry stone walls around our plots, ideal for sheltering all kinds of reptiles, insects, or gastropods. We create wetlands with ponds and we work to sow between the rows of vines to naturally nourish our soils, with the support of our pigs who thrive in our plots.
