Producer Description

The secret of the wines elaborated by Vega Tolosa is their microclimate and soil. Their production zone is located in the farthest eastern boundary of La Manchuela, just 120 km from the Mediterranean Sea. Our vineyards are located between the Júcar and Cabriel river valleys at height of 750 m: The warm and dry western winds during the day and the cool and humid eastern winds at night are ideal for the slow ripening of the grape. Its clayey-calcareus soils also contribute to the grape’s optimum quality which benefits the drainage of the scarce rainfall and the conservation of humidity during drought periods. Hence these conditions facilitate the elaboration of harmonious and elegant organic wines, with rich sparkling colours, fruity aromas and a delicious lingering taste on the palate. Biodiversity We obtain an increased volume of organic matter through improved composting methods involving the mixture of organic manure and material resulting from pruning and harvesting. We incorporate the organic production of legumes (lentils, peas, vetch, etc.) as part of our farming method. Our land comprises 400 hectares of organic crops, 150 of which are vineyards. Manure is sourced from organic livestock that is fed with our own produce. Manure is sourced from organic livestock that is fed with our own produce. Our soils favor the biological enrichment of microorganisms and insects that in turn attract other animals such as partridges, lizards, etc. Many of these insects find shelter beneath the mulch that is generated by the pruned branches and green manure. We do not use phosphates, nitrates, or mineral fertilizers. Our fertilizers are made exclusively from bioactive composting, pruning, and organic livestock manure Vega Tolosa is a family winery. We personally control the entire elaboration process: The optimum quality of the harvest as well its proper collection, its meticulous wine fermentation process and efficient commercialisation are the fruits of our dedication and hard work. We seek to create balanced wines which reflect the personality of our original vineyard.
