The partners believe strongly in the concept of terroir. They consider the importance of combining the precise soil and micro climatic conditions in order to produce a great wine.
The terroir of Viña Aquitania is characterised by a poor, well drained soil which allows roots to grow deep, and a micro climate which allows for very good exposure to sunlight, warm days, cool nights and no rainfall during ripening and harvesting.
Irrigation during the development of the grapes can be strictly controlled. The vines are planted in 18 hectares -45 acres- in rows running from North to South, on a slope in an East/West direction, at an altitude ranging from 675 to 721 metres above sea level. The vines are cordon trained at a density of 1.700 vines per acre.
Due to the absence of Phylloxera, the vines are ungrafted, and spraying against diseases is limited solely to the use of sulphur.
