COMMITMENT TO THE LAND Founded in 2002 by the Domenech-Nogueroles family with the aim of conserving and improving the natural heritage of the estate, creating a wine project that expresses the landscape and biodiversity of the surroundings, becoming a unique ecosystem.

In short, unique vineyards with very low production where Garnachas and Cariñenas give them the maximum expression.

It is really an open form of knowledge, rather than a set of closed methods and techniques. Plants receive influences from the earth and the energies of the universe that mark their vital rhythms. Everything that is given to them in the form of manure, compost, scraps, herbs, leaves, roots, etc., they incorporate so that, after a few months, it disappears to integrate with the earth, enriching it in humus and making it more fertile. The compound is very important for the vine. It needs to revitalize the soil by providing good quality and stable organic matter. Balancing the development of the vine.
