Vineyard
The quality of a good wine is not down to chance, it also requires the soil’s generosity, the complicity of the climate and the passion of our people. Our vineyards are located to the south-east of the Albacete province, in different locations situated between 400 and 900 metres above sea level. The altitude in which our vineyards are situated, as well as the soil types, gives our grape varieties the optimal characteristics and properties for creating our wines. Broad, generous wines, with traces of our soils which, as a result, give all our wines their own personality. Some of our cultivation areas are:
ONTUR: Vineyards situated at altitudes of between 400 and 700 metres above sea level. These are calcareous and clay soils, interspersed with sandy areas. They are soils with a reduced organic content, which provide our vineyards with the optimum conditions for growth and development of grape cultivation.

Weather and Land
Ontalba is located in the villages of Ontur and of Albatana, this being an ideal area for growing grapes: with calcareous and clay-loam soils; a characteristic microclimate of winters and summers without extremes of temperature, giving the grapes continuous growing time without metabolic variations. All these factors result in wines which are characterised by the soils, with a well-defined and unique profile which, combined with advanced manufacturing techniques, allow the wines to pass on the oenological potential of the grapes from which they are made.
