A
little background to our Vineyards
With
the very high price of land in this area, due to demand for
holiday homes, we were not able to buy a property large enough
to enable us to be self-sufficient for the supply of grapes to
our new Bodega. However,
this has actually turned out to be beneficial as we have
developed very good connections to local growers and we are
able to buy in more than enough grapes to meet our demands. Rows of vines are carefully chosen from the various
vineyard blocks and monitored throughout the growing season to
ensure the best possible quality fruit. Our tiny production of
less than 2000 cases per year means we can pay attention to
every detail.
As
well as our own small vineyard, we have also established
blocks of vines on neighboring properties which we run in
cooperation with the owners. Our innovative system of vineyard management ensures
that land – which would otherwise be left fallow – becomes
a productive asset to both the owners of the properties and
ourselves.
We use a
minimal spray programme in our vineyards (Integrated
Viticulture), as much natural fertilizer as possible and a
green cover crop over the winter months.
 Unlike many
Bodegas & wineries, we can actually claim that our wines
are “handcrafted”. Every
element of the wine making process is done by us, by hand. We do use some outside help during picking but other
than that, we attend to it all.
We
are open for sales and tastings every day, between 10am and
7pm by prior arrangement.
