Today, the vineyards are mature, ranging in age from 25 to 40 years. This ensures truly fantastic grape quality. Viura grapes are grown in Rioja for this white wine. This vineyard was planted in 1980 and expanded in 1992 to meet the growing demand for white Rioja wines. The vineyard's location is perfect, with abundant sunshine but also a very cool climate. A fresh breeze contributes to the cooling, as does the sharp drop in nighttime temperatures due to the vineyard's elevated position. Thanks to the deep roots and strong soil structure, the bunches are ready to harvest before the warm afternoons. All grapes are harvested partially by hand, starting early in the morning to prevent damage to the Viura bunches. The grapes retain their natural freshness, which is evident in this Real Agrado white wine.
