Central Rioja (in the villages of Alberite, Villamediana and Clavijo) typically has poor reddish soils, with a high content of ferrous clay and sand.
The notable presence of northerly winds (locally known as ‘Cierzo’) and the orientation of the vineyards (south-facing) make it an ideal terroir for sustainable viticulture and organic grape growing.
SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
Since the early 2000s, we have been promoting an extensive and ambitious programme of sustainable practices, both in our vineyards and in our winery. It aims is to protect diversity and reverse the degradation of our land and environment. It has also made us one of the leaders in organic viticulture in our region, La Rioja, since the early 2020s.
