The winery owns and manages 35 hectares of vineyard that are distributed amongst 90 different plots, which give complexity to the wines. The vines are over a century old and are located in various villages in the heart of Rioja Alavesa such as Elciego, Navaridas, Leza, Samaniego and of course Villabuena de Álava which is where the majority of the vineyard is located, no more than 2.5 Km from the winery. This means that there is very little time from the moment that the grapes are harvested until they arrive at the winery, which keeps the grapes at optimum condition.
«We respect nature with the utmost attention which is the reason why we keep all of our vines trained in the goblet or “vaso” bush vine system, using exclusively organic compost»
We strictly control the yield of the vineyard to obtain the maximum aromatic potential, structure and concentration in our wines. In doing so we make structured but easy to drink wines, wines that are to be enjoyed.
In our vineyards we mainly work with three varieties: Tempranillo for the reds, Malvasía and Viura for the whites although at the moment we are experimenting with other varieties such as Graciano.
