Traditional dry farmed viticulture. Organic Gobelet trained vines. Cultivated completely by hand, with minimal human intervention. The majority of the vineyards receive no treatments whatsoever.

Calatayud is characterized by rocky slate and quartz soils that date back to the Cambrian and Silurian periods. Slate is the common soil component, and depending on altitude or location, is either found as a pure slate soil, or slate intermixed with iron rich clay or calcareous clay. At lower altitudes, gravel and clay-loam soils are found as well.

Continental Mediterranean climate with cold winters, hot summers and drastic temperature fluctuations between day and night that can reach 60˚F. Vines self-regulate production levels based on hydric stress levels.

Aged sur lie for two months in stainless steel tanks.
