General Information

The handpicked and carefully selected grapes in boxes of 15 kg come from our 3 single vineyard plots: "El Consul”, “La Misela” and “Terrazas”.
Marqués de Vargas subscribes to the environmentally friendly concept and practice of sustainable winegrowing. Herbicides and pesticides are not used in our vineyards.

The wine is made traditionally according to the old-world methods side by side with the latest technology. The wine is bottled without any fining or filtering, resulting in an unprocessed and fully natural wine.
