The Story

The Garnacha Blanca comes from the San Gregorio plot which was planted in 1980 and whose soils are calcareous clay. The Viura comes from different parts of Contino , from the alluvial, old pago of Lentisco , from the stony San Gregorio La Tabla and from La Finca de Santa María. All of these vines are between 35 and 40 years old.
