| At present
we have more than 500 hectares of our own vineyards within
the “Ribera del Guadiana”
Denominacion de Origen
(A Guarantee of the origin and quality of the wine). The
main grape varieties are the Spanish white Cayetana and
Pardina varieties and others such as Macabeo. Where red
wine is concerned, the main grape variety is Tempranillo
as well as others such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and
Mazuelo.
The vineyards are located in the fertile region, or vine
area known as Tierra de Barros.
The region is mainly flat, with fertile soil and a significant
capacity for water retention. It is at an altitude of 300
m. to 500 m. and the average rainfall varies between 350
and 450 l/m_. The climate is continental, with cold winters
and very sunny summers, guaranteeing good vineyard growth
and excellent grape ripeness.
