IN 2000, AFTER A FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE SOIL AND CLIMATE, THE FIRST VINES WERE PLANTED.

THE CLASSIC FRENCH VARIETIES MERLOT, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, CABERNET FRANC AND PINOT NOIR GROW TOGETHER WITH THE AUSTRIAN VARIETIES BLAUFRÄNKISCH AND ZWEIGELT UNDER THE ANDALUSIAN SUN. SPANISH VARIETIES ARE REPRESENTED BY THE ROBUST GARNACHA TINTA AND THE NATIVE ANDALUSIAN GRAPE TINTILLA DE ROTA. THE WHITE GRAPE CHARDONNAY VARIETY COMPLETES OUR VINEYARD.

THE SERRANÍA DE RONDA OFFERS THE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR VITICULTURE. NESTLED BETWEEN THE SIERRA DE LAS NIEVES AND THE SIERRA DE GRAZALEMA, WE RECEIVE ADEQUATE RAINFALL, ABOUT 500 MM PER YEAR, AS WELL AS PROTECTION FROM THE STRONG EASTERLY AND WESTERLY WINDS.

WE START OUT WITH THE IDEA THAT NATURE IS WISE. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TRYING TO SUPPORT NATURE'S SELF-REGULATION IN ALL OF HER SEASONS AND REDUCE HUMAN INTERVENTION TO WHAT IS REQUIRED TO FORTIFY AND CARE FOR THE PLANT.
