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

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
