The organic wines from Piedra

Piedra's organic wines were created to delight the senses, to celebrate life and friendship. With a wide range that is constantly expanding, our wines are tailored to the demands of the most diverse palates. From young and natural wines, made without sulphites or additives, to wines where the value of time and maturity can be appreciated, expressing the best of an old vineyard in the Toro region.
 

OUR VINEYARDS

The soil is stony, alluvial, with a sandy surface, light and poor in organic matter, and a clay subsoil that helps preserve what little water the land receives. The continental climate, influenced by the Atlantic, causes large temperature differences between day and night. With long, cold winters and short but intense summers.

BOCARRAGE VINEYARD

A plot of vineyards of 40.67 ha, planted in 1968 with traditional direct foundation and Gobelet training, with a density of 1,000 vines/ha with one of the purest and most original Tinta de Toro clones. The average annual rainfall is 350 mm. Due to the heterogeneity of the soil, the different orientations and the differences in height, it is divided into four sub-plots.

THE GRAPE HARVEST

The intense work together with modern oenological techniques has made Piedra wines among the best and our winery a world reference in the area. From picking up the grapes to thorough selection, destemming, pressing, macerating, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation and aging, organic wine is our raison d'être.

The deep knowledge of the Tinta de Toro grape variety and an exquisite and meticulous work guarantee quality wines with personality, able to surprise and fall in love.
