Winery | The certified organic parcel within the estate vineyard is situated on Rioja Valley’s northern hills on south-facing slopes, which climb towards the Sierra. The small, old vineyard is planted across an uneven terrain due to several streams that run down the mountains that mark the northern border of Rioja. The soils are generally poor in nutrients and very shallow, just 30 to 35 centimetres in depth, encouraging the vines to send their roots deeper in search of nutrients and water. The soils vary from plot to plot, but clay-based soils are prevalent, with high iron and chalk content. The clay content retains water, which nourishes the vines during the warm summers, and the iron content is an essential nutrient for photosynthesis. The grapes come from low-yielding vines; careful selection allows for a true expression of the climate and soil. |
