Soils

Our soils are varied. The predominant type being calcareous clay soil with rounded stones and very low organic matter content, which limits the vine’s vigour and provides an excellent vegetation-fruit balance
Most of our vines are rainfed and globet pruned which provides low yields, ensuring the highest quality of our grapes.

Clasification and description of our soils

Soil 1

  • Age: Tertiary – Miocene/Oligocene
  • Characteristics: red clays, sandstones and conglomerates
  • Shalow soils with fine elements.

Soil 2

  • Age: Quaternary
  • Characteristics: High level of stones with middle carbonates content.
  • Loose-textured soil.

Soil 3

  • Age: Quaternary
  • Characteristics: Soils with quartzite and slaty stones, mostly siliceous
  • Deep soils with high level of thik elements, and high content of carbonates.

Soil 4

  • Age: Tertiary – Miocene/Oligocene
  • Characteristics: Calcareous clay soils. These clays are yellowish-brown, sometimes grey, red or whitish colour
  • Contienen capas finas de calizas grises bioturbadas y areniscas de grano fino.
