TERROIR

    Home TERROIR
    • WHAT'S THE ``TERROIR``
    • THE VINEYARD

    Terroir is a French word that could resemble “terroir” in Spanish.

    It is based on the French word “terre” which means soil, for what some people define as terroir, simply to the earth, but with this definition we may be too short.

    But terroir is actually much more complex than just land. The terroir is the combination of different natural factors of a space: How is the soil, the subsoil, the climate that occurs in that particular space, the slope where it is located or the altitude; and that they print the character and the particularities that a vineyard in particular has.

    The most probable thing is that there are not two vineyards in the whole world with the same combination of these factors, that is why this terroir is so important and defining the fruit that it will finally end up giving.

    A marked personality: Average altitude, extreme weather and perfect terrain.

    The vineyard from which all our wines come is located in the surroundings of the Serrada municipality, next to the Douro River and in the heart of the D.O. Rueda, in an eminently stony ground, uncomfortable for walks but fantastic for the cultivation of the vine, at an altitude of 750 m. above sea level.

    That stony soil, which provides great drainage and good aeration, comes from alluvial terraces rich in calcium and magnesium. A soil rich in calcium brings elegance to the wine, as it influences the thickness of the skin and therefore the accumulation of aromas and pigments. Magnesium, on the other hand, contributes to the harmony of the resulting wines.

    All this together with the harsh and extreme continental climate in which we find ourselves, with dry and hot summers and long cold winters, with frequent frosts, give these wines a very marked and defined character of their own.
