Las Fincas

The deep dialogue with the terroirs of Paraje Altamira and La Consulta is one of the secrets of our Finca 1955 and Finca La Escuela wines. And that is why we decided to group them in a brand new line: Las Fincas.

Finca La Escuela is located 1,200 meters above sea level and takes its name from the centuries-old rural school that still operates on the property. This unique place presents nothing more and nothing less than four different types of soil in just 7.5 hectares of extension: silt, stone, gravel and sand. Each of these profiles, of course, derives in very distinctive qualities for the different wines that they give birth to.
