Vinyes Del Terrer

About

Vineyards of the land is the achievement of a pairing between vine and man, which gives us an annual result of 40,000 bottles only. We combine tradition and modernity, using the latest machinery. We have a simple but rigorous way of garnishing of our wines, focusing on all the little details: Handpicked, reducing the initial temperature of the grapes before processing them in a diligent and manual selection. All combined with production limits and the use of pesticides to guide us towards a future in organic farming very soon.

Practices & Techniques

The Red varieties grown are Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha, with vines between 15 and 25 years of age. Viticulture is sustainable and yields are held to a scant 1.5 tons per acre. Careful berry selection is followed by natural fermentation and aging during approximately one year in seasoned barriques and 5,000-liter uprights of French oak, seeking minimal wood influence. 2010 was a debut year of sorts for the vineyards, with the first vintage produced in a new bodega facility in the heart of the estate. The heat-mitigating sea breezes and the singularly mineral soils motivated the Morells to perennially dedicate their parcels to the vineyard, with the objective of producing wines at the highest and most expensive level. With encouragement from experts and in recognition of the estate’s unique viticultural gifts and terroir, the bodegas were very appropriately given the name, “terrer.”

Estate Vineyards / AVA

Defying urban sprawl, the vineyards lie within a mile and a half of the sea, and their soils are composed of calcareous loam derived from fossil limestone, which is referred to locally as lumaquela.
