This winery was founded in 1961 by 17 small farmers from the municipality. After a continuous improvement effort, the cooperative has nowadays almost 2,000 members and owns 23,000 hectares of vineyards. Besides, the vines are planted in soils whose characteristics and composition are ideal for vine growing. Scarce rainfall and the heat during summertime originate a virtually organic fruit.
Their wine’s quality is ensured thanks to their high production rate, more than 150 million litres of wine and must per season. How? Such a volume of production allows them to produce a strict grape and wine selection for the different types of bottling.
