The visit begins at the winery with a brief explanation of the site. From there, a tour of the vineyard begins with the following stops:
VIEWPOINT OF OLD CELLARS
A viewpoint from where you can see El Plantío, a group of 141 wineries and 25 wine presses carved out of limestone rock. They were mostly built during the 19th century, although the first records of the existence of vineyards in the area date back to 1201.
PUNTO ALTO
We visit small plots of 120 year old goblet trained vines at 1050 metres above sea level. The spacing in this small goblet vineyard, known as Punto Alto, easily extends to two metres or more between rows and vines. The pruned vines do not rise more than a foot off the ground, a necessary precaution in this land of severe cold, drought and frost. The vineyard itself could barely be half a hectare in size and yields, below 20 hl/ha, are pyrrhic.
VISIT TO LA ROZA, A 165 YEAR OLD VINEYARD
Then we will go to La Roza, which is a vineyard made up of 2.29 hectares of 165 year old vines distributed in 19 plots. Within all of them, three plots of 0.24 hectares and 689 vines stand out for their quality.
In the recovery plan for La Roza, it has been necessary to carry out actions such as fencing off the plots to reduce damage from the different animals that live in the valley or to progressively incorporate organic matter into the soil.
VISIT TO THE WINERY AND TASTING
Back at the winery we will taste 5 wines that you can accompany with a plate of gourmet Manchego cheeses from the 1605 cheese factory.
