ORIGIN COLLECTION
EL VIVERO
Garnacha Peluda, Rojal, Tortosina and Arco
The Vivero de Usaldón is made with grapes of the Garnacha Peluda, Rojal, Tortosina and Arco varieties, planted in the Casa Balaguer de Villena farm. These varieties are maintained thanks to the fact that plant material was taken from centenary vineyards of the Usaldón Farm, before they were uprooted to plant Almond trees.

The remaining 70% is destemmed without being crushed and is also put into jars. Fermented with native yeasts without the addition of sulfur at room temperature and in clay jars with their skins and part of the stem. Once the fermentation is over, it is pressed and remains in the jars where it remains for 4 months until it is bottled directly without clarifying, without filtering and without the addition of sulfur.
