We have some fifty plots of vineyard, all small, spread across four separate zones, each of which is vinified separately. In all, we harvest the fruit from about 42,000 old bush vines, planted long ago by our grandparents and in some cases even by our great-grandparents. Per vine, producción can be as low as 200 grams of grapes and our average yield in these vineyards is just one thousand kilograms per hectare.

The most widely planted grape variety is Tempranillo (known as Tinto Fino in the Ribera and Tinto del País by local farmers), but, as was the custom in the days when the vines were planted, Garnacha vines have been planted fairly randomly throughout these vineyards. A third variety, the white Albillo, very rare, but permitted by the regulations of the DO Ribera del Duero, allows us to produce a delicate aromatic white wine.

As we work with three different grape varieties and the vines are spread over a farily wide area, the harvest takes place in three stages. First all of the Albillo is picked and vinified. This is followed by the Tempranillo and finally we turn to the Garnacha, which adds a refreshing aromatic touch to our wine.
