Tradition

As we read in Genesis, after the Universal Flood, Noah already planted the first vines for winemaking. Something more recent, just two thousand years ago, precisely in our area, the Roman Beturia, Columelo wrote "De Arboribus", where he already detailed the cultivation of the vine and the production of wine. This tradition and millennial character is what Bodega Agro Ribera Nature tries to put modestly on its fair value, and we want to share with all of you.

Land

The farm that gives rise to our wines, is located on a very special and capricious strip of land, where the difference with the neighboring lands, just a few tens of meters apart, is very remarkable and particularly characterizes its fruits.

Characterization

At first glance, an abundance of schists stands out, with a profusion of laminar minerals. These physical characteristics, its geological origin, composition, structure, and depth, outline the aroma and flavor of its grapes. This combined with the climatic factor, altitude of the farm 450 m, the vicinity of the Sierra Grande de Hornachos (951 m), the grape varieties, the viticultural practices and the careful process of elaboration and enology, confer a unique personality to our wines.

Climatology

Mediterranean climate with some oceanic influence. Hot and dry summers from the Azores Anticyclone, highly variable springs and autumns, and sometimes cold and dry winters, sometimes rainy by the Atlantic Storms. Average annual rainfall in our area between 400 and 500 l / m2.

Carmen Aguilar

A woman's name for a spectacular wine, with character, nobility, simplicity, depth, wisdom, beauty, passion and delicacy. A tribute to all our mothers.

Lagarus

Would Columelus think when he wrote his work "De Arboribus" that we would talk about him two thousand years later? This wine is a tribute to those who have written about wine and viticulture and have contributed to transmitting this ancient culture.

Abaxial

Abaxial literally means on the opposite side, that which is furthest, outer, or facing out from the axis of an organ. In botany, the abaxial side of the leaf is considered to be the underside. For us Abaxial is an unusual, surprising wine.
