Encomienda de Cervera

ENCOMIENDA De CERVERA WINES

Located within the distinguished cultural city of Almagro, between valleys

and mountains thick with holm oaks and juniper trees, rosemary and thyme.

Black volcanic earth, red earth, chalky and stony earth are all found here. All of

this, under the watchful gaze of the Maar de la Hoya de Cervera Volcano,

declared a National Monument in 1999.

The mountainous terrain that forms its three drainage basins has a peculiar

microclimate, with cool nights providing relief from the blistering heat of the day.

We have selected the best slopes and altitudes for the growth

cycle of each grape variety. Following an exhaustive soil

survey, the most suitable soil for each variety was selected. All

the vineyards lie from North to South in a trellis formation.

Irrigation is controlled through a drip irrigation system using

humidity sensors at different levels. The care of our vineyards

results in a better quality of grape and wine, without losing

identity and tradition.

The Encomienda de Cervera estate was established in

around 1758 with a total of 1200 hectares of land where

we could find 45 hectares of Vineyards and 100

hectares of Olive trees.

The winery, which dates from the 19th Century, has been

restored, expanded and equipped with modern fermentation

systems, all with the utmost respect for the environment and

with the aim of maximising the quality of our wines. Still using

concrete tanks for malolactic fermentation.
