Terroir
Natural factors
- Calcareous-clay soils of medium-low fertility promote contained yields and proper fruit ripening.
- Proximity to the sea moderates seasonal temperature extremes and keeps the environment well-ventilated.
- Scarce summer rainfall and high heat accumulation favor elevated dry extract and alcohol content in the reds.
- The reds show good color intensity, high polyphenol content, and good aging potential.
Product characteristics
- Reds: elevated dry extract, high alcohol content, intense color, rich in polyphenols, good aging potential.
- Balanced ripening promotes good expression of the varietal characteristics of the grape varieties.
