Terroir

• The vineyard area lies in the Guadalquivir depression, on flat or gently undulating terrain.
• The climate is Mediterranean in character, though the Atlantic opening afforded by the relief adds perceptible oceanic nuances to the wine styles.
• The protected area covers approximately 6,000 hectares in the comarca of Condado de Huelva, in the south-east of the province of Huelva. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The ageing and maturation zone for the protected wines encompasses only the municipalities of Bollullos Par del Condado and La Palma del Condado. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• The fortified wines, including the generoso wines, are produced using the traditional criaderas and solera systems, as well as a static system.
• The management of oak butts and/or barrels is key to wine quality, while the winery architecture and cellar management maintain the optimal microclimate for ageing.

• The wine styles are influenced by the proximity to the Doñana National Park, combined with the area's traditional winemaking expertise.
