Vineyard Information

The vineyards cover 25 hectares of land, with new plantings added every year. They are located at an altitude of 400 - 600 m and are influenced by the warm Mediterranean climate and the considerable rainfall (620 mm / year, on average). The surrounding hills, the crystal gypsum, limestone and quartz rich soils, together with the uninterrupted exposure to the winds of the valley, modify the local mesoclimate.
