It is located in the region of Las Garrigas, South of the province of Lleida, in the municipalities of the Albages and La Pobla de Cervoles. Scarce rainfall, cold winters and very warm summers, an altitude of 500 to 700 metres and poor soil constitute the ideal space for wine of great quality, eco-friendly in our case. The winery is located on a hill that overlooks the whole vineyard - a plan not unlike the concept of the French ''Chateau'' or the American ''Estate''. All the wine is made here through a combination of technology and traditional methods. Everything is designed to work with respect for quality and to maintain the properties of the ''terroir'' to the maximum in the wines. Extreme weather conditions and low production volumes are reflected in their red wines - intense deep colour, strong aromas of ripe fruit and then an elegant touch of oak from the winemaker. '
