These are vineyards distributed in 'Pezas' or plots with up to 45% of northern slope cultivated in glass to an altitude between 600 and 800 meters above sea level, in the Valdeorras Carballeda City Council.

The strains have an age that hinders between 60 and 105 years. They are characterized by having a colluvial soil, derived from the weathering of the black slate rock.

That is precisely the essence of this wine that the club brings you.
