Terroir

• The winegrowing zone encompasses the western Alpujarra of Granada, including municipal districts such as Albondón, Albuñol, Cádiar, Torvizcón, and Ugíjar, among others. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The soil and climate characteristics of the zone make it ideally suited to the production of quality wines, both red and white, with a fruity, elegant character.

• Official recognition of the reputation of wines from this geographical indication was granted by an Order of the Junta de Andalucía dated 4 February 2009, published in the BOE by Resolution of 15 June 2009.
• This geographical indication, formerly known as Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa-Alpujarra, was regulated in 2004. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• The white wines display a pale straw colour with fruity notes, and are soft and velvety on the palate. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• The red wines show a bright cherry red colour; they are aromatic, with low acidity and full body, while the rosés range from pale pink to strawberry pink, with medium intensity and a fruity character. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• The altitude, with the majority of the vineyard area lying above 1,000 metres, produces low mean temperatures that result in a slower, more uniform ripening of sugars, polyphenols, and aromatic compounds.
