Winery images
Our origins were difficult. We start from an area that historically has been dedicated to bulk and the Bobal variety was very suitable for this type of work. Our goal was to find the way to work our native variety in the best possible way to get the party it deserves. Soil studies, control of the vigor of the plant, pruning and harvest in green and lots of bunches. We always work our vineyard, with the minimum possible intervention and ecological certification.
The farm is surrounded by aromatic plants such as thyme, rosemary, burlap or fennel. In addition to pines, olive and almonds trees.
