Studies carried out by CRDO Ribera del Duero determine that ideal soil is that which has traditionally been dedicated to vineyards in la Ribera, and which, as we understand from documents of different periods must be light soil in a sunny, well-ventilated position. For this reason the slopes facing south, south-east, with a sandy clay soil on a limestone base close to the banks of the river were planted with vines.

The continental-mediterranean climate of the area with its low rainfall (400-500 litres per square metre per year) and large variations of temperature is considered to be ideal for producing high-quality wine. Our 15 hectares of vineyards have traditionally been used for the cultivation of the tinto fino ( or tempranillo)grape, some of our vines being more than 100 years old..

Conscious of the vital importance of the grape to the wine, we look after our vineyard following traditional Ribera working customs, with low production at around 2,5 kilos per plant, thus guaranteeing the quality of the product.
