A Natural Wine Grower's Paradise
· Geographic isolation: natural barriers from pests.
· No phylloxera: capability to plant own rooted vines.
· Mediterranean climate with four clearly marked seasons.
· Low frost incidence during spring and autumn.
· Little rain during spring and almost no rain during the summer and early autumn.
· Late arrival of the rain until late autumn allows harvesting the grapes at full ripeness.
· Exceptional conditions during ripening, which provides healthy grapes with little or no use of pesticides or fungicides.
· Marked day/night temperature variation:
High daytime temperatures in summer time (30 - 33 ºC) favors the production of sugar, color and aromas, and proper tannin ripeness.
Low night time temperatures (13 - 15 ºC) prevent the loss of the aforementioned, which leads to a greater concentration in the grapes.
