HISTORY

Our main goal is to produce wines with an extreme personality in an area where we think that it is very unique to grow grapes and make very interesting wines.

The project was born in 2009 with the vision of producing great wines in a remote and surprising region. Several varieties are very well adapted to the climate, the soils and the altitude of this region of Spain, making it possible to produce wines with character and a definite sense of place.

PADULES- THE REGION OF IGP RIBERA DEL ANDARAX

Padules, is the village where Pagos de Indalia is located, it is nestled on the Andarax creek between Sierra Nevada and Sierra Gador. This landscape, with big ravines and big slopes, forces us to use mules in many of our vineyards where you cannot use machines and you have to travel back to the old times to take care of the grapes.

The vineyards are calcareous in the area of the Andarax creek and amazing slate soils closer to Sierra Nevada, in the highest vineyards, where elevations top 3300 feet over sea level.

SOILS.

The beginning of our adventure.

ORGANIC MINDS

Our philosophy is to preserve the environment of the region. All the vineyards that we own are certified by the government of Andalucia with the stamp of organic agriculture.

VARIETAL:  50% Syrah / 50% Temp.  The Syrah has been very well adapted to the calcareous soils that we have around Padules. The Tempranillo

Is in the highest altitudes and grown in very dry soils. Those vines are alive just with the humidity of the Alborán sea mist. This particular microclimate combined with the slate soils and with a huge difference in temperature between day/night, allows us to produce wines with a mineral character that are very age worthy.  We produced this wine in collaboration with Gretchen Thomas, Barcelona’s Corporate Director of Beverage. Please Enjoy!
