Crusoe Treasure is a cellar with a treasure trove of wines secreted at the bottom of the sea. The world's first underwater cellar and artificial reef, created by enterprising wine enthusiasts with the aim of producing totally different premium wines. Crusoe Treasure has expounded the science of storage under the sea over years of research and development, using sustainable practices which safeguard the various species living in this part of the Plentzia Bay, Vizcaya, in the Cantabrian Sea.
Sea Soul nº 1 offers us an underwater wine, stowed away in the sea at a depth of 20 metres and in total darkness. Made with albariño grapes from Rías Baixas, grown in vineyards aged more than 25 years old, it undergoes the traditional ageing of 8 months in French oak barrels and 6 months (on average) of underwater storage. This storage is carried out with continual monitoring by cameras and sensors which control the process 24 hours a day. Studies undertaken by well-known laboratories and oenologists confirm the exceptional nature of the wine after this unique wine-ageing process.
