For good quality wine must begin with a good quality of grapes, so it gives a great importance to viticulture.

 

The winery have 30 hectares of cultivated varieties approved Tempranillo, Merlot, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon with a planting of 2.25 x 1.50.

 

They are trellised double cordon with a load of 2.5 kg per vine. To get this load of clusters in ripening dates near the thinned is performed, leaving the best bunches homogeneously distributed strain and the branches are blunt to the wise is used in ripen rather than vegetative growth.

 

If thinning is performed at this time, you can influence the vegetative cycle of the plant by increasing the force for the next year or favoring overgrowth berries phenomenon leading to a dilution of color.

 

It is desirable to have enough leaf mass around the cluster to protect clusters of heat stroke noon given in this climate.

 

The low rainfall necessitates the use of drip irrigation, properly programmed to avoid excess water and promote proper ripening.

 

From veraison, which varies depending on the variety, weekly monitoring of ripening is performed until the next harvest in which this is more continuous monitoring dates.

In this area, due to the altitude and weather the harvest is earlier than in other wine regions of Almeria, carried out in late August.

 

The harvest is hand-picking only the bunches that are in perfect phytosanitary and ripening conditions. and transported in boxes of 10 kg to the cellar where then a selection of the best bunches manually before moving on to the grinding is done.

Thanks to these traces of the vine in the field have an excellent raw material for making wine.

 

Our wines are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature of about 28 ° C, followed by a maceration with the skins for about 25 days. After this the malolactic fermentation.

 

Wine for aging directly barrels of French and American oak, then coupages of different wines are made and bottled finally passed to complete the process.
