Positioned on the rolling valley floor that lies at the base of the Sierra Cantabria mountain range, the small 3.5-hectare El Carretil vineyard was planted in 1975 and it is located at an altitude of 515 meters above sea-level. A deep-rooted, southeast-facing vineyard, its soil is comprised of nutrient-poor calcareous clay with a high concentration of active limestone, creating a deep, complex wine with a marked strength and minerality.
