Vineyards

The soil is stony alluvium, with a sandy surface, light and poor in organic matter with a clay subsoil that helps maintain the little water that the area receives. Its continental climate, influenced by the Atlantic, along with its location at an altitude of 330m above sea level, cause huge diurnal variations in temperature. With long, cold winters, and short but intense summers.

The Piedra Natural Wine is made with grapes grown in the Bocarrage Parcel, using absolutely no sulphites, nor additives or treatments of any kind. The grapes are exclusively hand harvested, ripe Tinta de Toro grapes.

Vinification

After spontaneous alcoholic fermentation, with the malolactic naturally following in French oak barriques, the wine remains on its lees for a period of six months, after which it is lightly filtered prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes

With all of its integrity and natural fruit, this wine is a pure expression of the best that an old vineyard site in the Toro region has to offer.
