01. Our seal guarantees that you have before you an ARTISANAL AND LIVING WINE. Made with the minimum possible intervention with the aim of respecting the place in which the grapes were born and which gave it life. /02. We firmly believe that wines must be faithful representatives of the LAND in which they are born. /03. It is made with grapes cultivated in an ORGANIC, SUSTAINABLE & TRADITIONAL way. /04. During the cultivation of our grapes we NEVER use pesticides, weed-killers, systemic treatments or chemical fertilizers.We firmly believe that everything begins with the SOIL, for this reason we fight to keep it ALIVE. /05. Our wines are made from hand-harvested grapes. /06. Our wines are basically fermented grape juice with a minimal dose of sulphur. /07. Neither technology nor mechanization can ever substitute the PASSION of small artisanal grape growers. /08. Our wines are always VILLAGE WINES , understanding this concept as an exclusive geographic delimitation, given that we appreciate each village, with its history, its vineyards and its soils as a unique landscape which deserves to be valued. /09. We make our wines VINEYARD by VINEYARD. We understand that the best way of knowing the biodiversity of our landscapes through our vineyards and their soils is by treating each parcel individually./10. All of our wines are AGED. We understand the process as a form of guided ageing in which wood does not necessarily have to intervene. We use different materials such as concrete or terracotta and when we do use wood, we are always drawn to large volumes and used barrels. With the ageing process we are trying to highlight our work as farmers. /11. We never clarify nor stabilize and we normally never filter. Should we do so, it is always very light filtration. /12. The true beauty of wines with soul is found in the sum of their imperfections. Light has always found a way in through the cracks…
What is truly difficult is to create a winery that is profitable and sustainable long term. The easy bit is pruning on a waning moon and treading the grapes with your feet.
