  the vineyards
The vines are mainly  of Grenache and Cariñena and in less proportion of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon for the red wines, and Pedro Ximenez and white Grenache for the white wines.

Great part of these vines are known as “costers” , which were planted between 1910 and 1980, with low production and output for each vine. Others were planted in terraces from the eighties till present time.

An important part of the production is declared and recognized by the C.C.P.A.E.(Catalan Council of Biological Agricultural Production).

With this product, that comes from one property, a biological wine is elaborated.

The phylosophy of our work in the vines is to produce grapes exclusively grown for Genium wines, with a dedication and effort for producing healthy grapes of high quality. We keep taking care of the old vines on the slopes, in spite of the low output and high costs.

The plantations of vines in trained terraces, more mechanized than the slopes, are under control of a short pruning time to reduce the production, “green” pruning, with clarification of the grapes, etc..,always aiming for a high quality grape with a strong mineralization.
