Our wines

 

Producing a quality wine starts in the vineyard as we know and that is why we take a lot of care about it by means of traditional operations such as pruning in green, blunting, as well as elimination of bunches when the load grows too big and much more to improve the performance of the vines, contributing to better quality grapes.

 

To succeed in making a good wine also requires to foster the vineyard. And by the time of the harvest, we move our focus on taking care of all the details of it; manual selection of the bunches to be vinified, control of the ideal temperature of elaboration as well as the continuous control of the must during its fermentation process and much more of course.

 

Our privileged situation, at an altitude of 300 meter, between the Guadalhorce Valley and the southern face of the Sierra Llana, by which the breezes from the east of the Mediterranean Sea are entering that provide the necessary supply of humidity for the vineyard so that the grapes will get the scarce but sufficient supply of water, enough to obtain quality grapes from the different varieties planted. It is not a surprise that the Romans already selected these grounds 2000 years ago to plant their vineyards and make their wine. 
Our soil is poor, chalky, clay loam, which helps the vines to find conditions that are remarkably suitable for their cultivation.
It is because of all of the above, together with the knowledge of our oenologist and the support of all our team, that we make wines that are as special as they are ours:
