Viticulture
Produced from our own, organically farmed vineyards in Uclés (Castile,Spain). The continental climate with sunny days and cool nights allows us to achieve intense fruit and excellent varietal definition,while retaining remarkable freshness. Grapes are picked at night or in the early morning hours and shipped quickly to our state-of the-art winery for destalking and light crushing.
Vinification
