The winery owns and manages 35 hectares of vineyard that are distributed amongst 90 different plots, which give complexity to the wines. The vines are over a century old and are located in various villages in the heart of Rioja Alavesa such as Elciego, Navaridas, Leza, Samaniego and of course Villabuena de Álava which is where the majority of the vineyard is located, no more than 2.5 Km from the winery. This means that there is very little time from the moment that the grapes are harvested until they arrive at the winery, which keeps the grapes at optimum condition. Using exclusively organic compost and the "vaso" bush vine system, they respect nature with the utmost attention.
