Images of Winery

Innovative project in El Bierzo, whose foundation is viticulture and interpretation of local terroir. Founded in 2005, the result of the impetus of a group of great wines professionals and lovers, who had as a common link their love for El Bierzo and respect for its old vineyards. Making the first elaborations in a rented winery, it was in 2011 when the new facilities were inaugurated, signed by the architect Jesús Manzanares.

The Winery

Located halfway between Cacabelos and Villafranca, in the upper part of Pieros, in the most traditional wine-growing area. A territory with a markedly smallholder character, where the ownership of the old vineyard is widely distributed, priority is given to the purchase or transfer of old historic vineyards, located in the municipalities of Valtuille de Arriba and San Lorenzo.

Today, the property is made up of 12 hectares. spread over tiny plots of old vineyards.

Enviroment

El Bierzo is a small denomination of origin, located in the northwest of Spain, in the province of León. It is made up of small plots of old Mencía and Godello vineyards. In the area there is a prevalent artisanal and smallholder viticulture.
The predominant soils are, in the valley, poor soils of red clay and, on the slopes, schists of ferrous slate.

Climatically, it is a transition zone between the Galician climate (Atlantic) and the plateau (Continental), thanks to the mountain systems that surround the region, providing an ideal microclimate for vine cultivation.
