CASA DE QUESADA

The particular soils are sandy loam, with a large amount of calcareous stone. The highest part of the land, where these varietals are planted, has poorer soils, which makes the vines struggle and get stronger obtaining enough nutrients to produce little volume but with a lot of quality and personality, especially minerality and rich acidity.
