Sustainability and ecology

Soil

Each vineyard has a different soil: Monastrell has a grey soil, which brings mineral character to our wines. Tempranillo has clay soil, clay-limestone Sirah and limestone Merlot.

Climate

In the Aceniche valley there are different microclimates; colder areas where only the monastrell escapes from late frost and other areas more protected from currents or on mountain slopes that allow the cultivation of varieties of shorter vegetative cycle, for example, we grow Merlot to 900 meters of height in trellises and they are rain fed.

Grapes

Monastrell is the queen of our winery, coming from old vines and diverse soils. Varieties like Sirah, Tempranillo and Merlot very well adapts to our terroir, accompany it in some of our wines ..

We must not forget our unique Macabeo.

Insolation

More than 300 days of sunshine a year guarantee the perfect maturation of the grapes in our vineyard.

The sunshine accompanied by the temperature difference between day and night make our wines unique character.

Water

Precipitation around 400 mm / year, some time in the form of snow.

geological studies confirm that there is an important aquifer, which provides water to the vineyards of older Monastrell, with longer roots and prevents water stress and the appearance of edges in wines. We only provide irrigation support to Sirah.

Winery

Located between the vineyards of the family. It is a functional building and over time has integrated into the landscape design with the aim of producing high quality wines. Everything is laid out with this objective
