Vineyard

The grapes come from various 170-hectare plots planted with 18 to 30-year-old vines. The carbonate-rich soil consists of rounded pebbles embedded in sandy and calcareous clay. The vineyards are located in the Duero valley, partly in the river's alluvial deposits and partly on low-lying terraces. A mix of grass and natural vegetation grows between the rows. Yields are limited to 2.5 tons per hectare. Winemaking is done organically, without the use of chemical products: fauna and viticulture go hand in hand here.

Winemaking

Picking only takes place during the cool morning hours. The grapes are gently crushed and then left in contact with the juice for a short time. Only the free-run juice is used. This undergoes spontaneous fermentation by indigenous yeasts. Maturation on fine lees takes place in French oak barrels.
