vineyards
Recovering vineyards, creating wines.
We work in the town of Cebreros, where pure GARNACHA and ALBILLO REAL vines have traditionally been planted on granite and slate soils, small old vineyards that have survived the development of other more productive areas and have not been uprooted because their growers consider them part of the family.
Old vines in the mountains that have outlived the times for the dignity of their grower, not for profitability, vineyards whose grapes were destined for bulk wines and that SOTOMANRIQUE has endeavored to recover.
In 2016 SOTOMANRIQUE settles in Cebreros, begins to buy vineyards, currently about 20 hectares of small vineyards, to recover soils, to work in organic, to seek the maximum personality of those forgotten vineyards of Garnacha between 700-1100 meters altitude.
He also carries out with his team a classification of all the sites of Cebreros, looking for particularity in the vineyards, studying their traceability to produce great wines, to learn from the vineyards, to understand them, to help them, to show what they can offer, taking care and working the soils where they are settled.
SOTOMANRIQUE’s philosophy is always the search for the differential, the authentic, the expression in the wines of the landscapes and soils where their vineyards are located, with the minimum intervention in their elaborations, spontaneous fermentations, freshness, tension, intensity, fluidity, elegance, fruity and clean wines.
We always maintain a philosophy of respect for the environment in which we work, keeping the soils alive and organic viticulture.
