Up here, the wind is in charge

The Sierra Nevada on one side, the Mediterranean on the other. Between them our vines reach 1,300 metres, among mainland Spain’s highest vineyard elevations. The sun on the south-facing slopes ripens the grapes; cooler nights slow that process and help the fruit retain its acidity. That freshness carries through to the glass.

Our chapter at Cuatro Vientos began in 2004. The project brings vineyard work, winemaking and ageing together on the estate, and welcomes visitors to share the wine culture of the Contraviesa: in the museum, at a tasting and around the table.

Harvest 2026

This year's harvest on the estate: the grapes, the hands that pick them and the winery seen from the air.

A year on the hill

What happens before the glass

September

Harvest is done by hand

Ripening is watched so each grape is picked at its moment; the fruit is selected and travels in crates to reach the cellar whole.

How we work

Winter

The ageing cellar, underground

The barrels rest in the ageing cellar while, up above, the wind blows however it pleases.

Visit the winery

All year

And finally, the glass

Wine ends where it began: at a table facing the sierra. At the winery's own restaurant, or at yours.
