PLACE & TERROIR
Our vineyards are located near the village of Canet lo Roig, in the Baix Maestrat region of Castellón, between Valencia and Tarragona, around 25 km from the Mediterranean Sea.
THE REGION
Canet lo Roig is a small village of around 800 inhabitants, nestled among rolling hills and olive groves in the province of Castellón. The name "Lo Roig" translates as "the red one", referring to the distinctive red colour of the local soil and sand.
The area has a long agricultural history, with centuries-old olive trees still shaping the landscape today. Located close to the border with Tarragona, the region provides excellent conditions for viticulture.
The climate is Mediterranean, with warm summers, cooler nights, and steady conditions that support healthy vineyards.
THE VINEYARDS
Our vineyard covers approximately 5 hectares. When we acquired it, the vines had been neglected, so we spent five years restoring the vineyard to full health.
Around half of the original vines had to be removed due to poor condition and disease. Today, around 4,500 healthy vines remain, many of them over 30 years old.
In 2021, we filled the remaining gaps in the vineyard and purchased an additional hectare of land, where we planted 2,000 Garnacha Blanca vines.
GRAPE VARIETIES
Our oldest vines are primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Garnacha Tinta.
In 2016, we planted 6,000 new vines, introducing Marselan, Cabernet Franc, and the traditional Spanish variety Monastrell (known as Mourvèdre in France).
In 2021, we planted Garnacha Blanca, a variety that thrives in the nearby Terra Alta region. Marselan is a relatively young grape variety, created by crossing Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha Tinta. It is particularly well suited to changing climatic conditions.
