The Álvarez-Arenas family is more deeply rooted in the wine history of La Mancha than almost any other. Grapes passed through their hands more than 250 years ago. But only the youngest generation dared to take the step to own a winery. In 2002, Manuel Álvarez-Arenas Bayo and his two sisters Esperanza and Amparo built a new, ultra-modern winery on their forefathers' vineyards and threw all structures overboard. Wine production follows a clear canon of values: 100% organic, 100% sustainable with regard to agroecological developments and absolutely committed to the terroir. The soils consist mainly of marly limestone, clay and gravel. The vines are fertilized plot by plot with natural compost from grape pomace, among other things. During the hand-picking, the team meticulously ensures that the grapes are transported from the vineyard to the winery within minutes in order to avoid excessive contact with oxygen. The malolactic fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, where the lees fall more easily and the wine is allowed to stabilize in a completely natural way without filtration.
