Parajes del Valle have traditional “Terraje” vineyards in Jumilla and Mancheula between Albacete and Murcia in the South East of the Iberian Peninsula.

 These regions are some of the oldest traditional wine growing areas in Spain. Traditional customs and wine growing techniques have been preserved for centuries. Winemaker, Maria Jover is steadfast in her philosophy to reinterpret each vintage of Monastrell and Macabeo faithfully by farming organically  and adhering to traditional winemaking practices with minimal inputs to achieve the highest level  of fruit purity.

 The terroir is harsh; nestled close to the mountains the high altitude vineyards (700 – 1000m asl) are subjected to an extreme continental climate of freezing Winters and hot dry Summers. Soils are sandy calcareous loams and rainfall is scarce, falling mainly in early Spring and Autumn. Vines are traditional bush with low planting densities of 1,000 – 1,500 vines per hectare and yields are low.

 “Parajes del Valle – A place where you will find special wines, original, created with care. Unique, because the vines from which they are born are also unique. Vines that know how to overcome hard times, and have come out strengthened over the years. The way of making wine in this winery has a clear inspiration: respect for our environment. We know that only by taking care of the biodiversity of these lands, they will give us their best fruit. That is why we make organic wines: because we love the environment, and what one loves is not mistreated.” – Suppliers notes
