ONE VINEYARD, ONE VARITEY

Vineyard next to the archaeological remains of the roman villa of La Verna. Four hundred twenty-five years old vines of the variety macabeu. Driven for four years with wooden tutors and reed roof, forming pergolas to facilitate natural growth, letting it follow its climbing nature.

The vineyard wants to be a tribute to the viticulture of antiquity. Conceived from the explanations of the roman writer Pliny the Elder in his book on wine and research from various archaeological sites, both in the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean during protohistory and the ancient period.

The technique called arbustum, with the vine trained to a tree that acts as a tutor forming a pergola in symbiosis with different fruit trees, in a practice of polyculture, is one of the various forms of driving vines known in antiquity

Some fruit trees have been planted in between the vineyards, such as fig trees, olive trees and plums, forming polycultures that benefit the diversity of flora and fauna of the environment. The soil is not harvested, either manually or mechanically. The herbs are not removed. It is gently pruned.
