Om vingården:
After dedicating a whole life to cultivating cereals, almonds, olives and vine, we started to restructure the vine-growing patrimony in 1980. We did this by adapting the planting of the vineyard to the pedology of our lands.
This is how a new project, which was going to make our hope come true, was born.
Our hope of producing wine from our own vineyards in the cellar, by combining ground,grape variety and microclimate for “Vinos de Pago” and Single Estate Wines. “Vinos de Pago”have been produced with one single grape variety and on one unique location.
Single Estate Wines are the assembly of wines of different grape varieties which have been planted on one vineyard.
