Our Estate is located in Campo de Calatrava, sub IGP of Vino de la Tierra de Castilla. Campo de Calatrava region differentiates from the rest due to the characteristics of it soils where we find volcanic origin lands. It is one of the three most recent volcanic regions in the Iberian Peninsula. It is located next to Natural Parks of Andújar and Cazorla. Our vineyard, around 700m high, is composed of 85 hectares of goblet-pruned and trellised autochthonous and international varieties: Tempranillo, Syrah, Graciano, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Small-Grain Muscat and several old vines of Airén. Our old vines are one of the biggest secrets and greatest values we have. Highlighting strains of Tempranillo variety, specifically Cencibel which is synonymous of Tempranillo originally from our area. With more than 50 years old they are goblet-pruned vines with the traditional association of vine and olive groves in the same plot, typical in our region and reflection of our origins.
«It is a privilege for any winemaker being able to work with old Cencibel goblet-pruned vines like the ones at Quinta de Aves. It is unmistakable the authenticity of the wines and exciting observing the ability to adapt to our soils and climate of such long-staining vines, wich year after year are able to make the best of our essence.»
