DATA

Nº of hectares under vine: 274 - Nº of vine growers: 179 - Nº of wineries: 21 - Harvest 21: Unclassified - Production 21: 783.863 liters - Marketing: 60% National - 40% International.

SITUATION

The Arribes wine region is located in the heart of the Arribes Natural Park, forming an elongated strip along the southwest of Zamora and the northwest of Salamanca. The vineyard extends along the valleys with good slopes along the Duero River. In Fermoselle 90% of the vineyard is gathered.

CLIMATE

It is marked by a Mediterranean influence, due to the accelerated drop in altitude from the Castilian plains of Sayago to the lowlands of the Duero riverbed in the area of Fermoselle in Zamora. This territory has a microclimate that even allows the cultivation of orange trees. Rainfall is scarce throughout the grape ripening cycle, with very dry and hot summers.

SOILS

The terrain is defined by shallow sandy soils with an abundance of loose stones and quartz, which can run into granite rock formations, very common in the Fermoselle area. In general, slate soils also abound in the Salamanca area as a projection of the Portuguese Douro. In the subsoil, the slate is a thermal guarantee to hold the sun during the day and give off the heat at night. 

VARIETIES

White: malvasia, verdejo and albillo. 
Reds: bruñal, juan garcía, rufete, tempranillo, syrah (main); mencía and garnacha (authorized).

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINES

WHITES
Very scarce, almost all Malvasia, they receive the advantages of the more Mediterranean climate of the Spanish Duero basin. The slate soils make them more mineral.

RED WINE
The wines made with Juan Garcia are brightly colored and of medium intensity, the grapes well exposed to sunlight and in an improving blend can offer a very fruity and explosive character. However, greater care in viticulture is making the berry size smaller and, consequently, the pigmentation of this variety is also more intense. All the wines have a mineral touch from the slate soils that make them similar to those of the Portuguese Douro.
