Located in the southeast of the region of Madrid, and the grapes from where the wines originate, come from selected vineyard plots in the area of influence of the Tajo River, in the production subzone of Arganda del Rey. This area is located between 3 rivers, The Jarama, the Tajuña, and the Tajo, the great river that crosses the area, which allows a natural and capillar irrigation of the vineyards.

In the vineyard plots located in Arganda del Rey, different types of places are combined where its 150 hectares of vineyards are cultivated, from the vineyards located in the paramo, with more rigorous climatic conditions and very adequate to the cultivation of Tempranillo, an area of slopes near the streams that cross the municipality of Arganda del Rey, with characteristics more typical for the cultivation of the Malvar grape, with moderate acidity and high sugar content, and the plain area, characterized by many hours of annual sunshine and where the vine has traditionally been cultivated since Roman times.

The vineyards are between 600 and 650 meters above sea level, as they are located in the very center of Spain’s central plateau.

The grape varieties where our wines come from are Malvar for white wine, which is a rare variety and of very limited production, and Tempranillo for the 3 red wines, which is the red grape variety with a more widespread cultivation in Spain, and with the greatest international reputation.
