VINEYARDS
100 year
old vines
Martínez Corta offers a range of wines which are rooted in
tradition and yet display a distinct contemporary character,
thanks to the use of innovative winemaking techniques
combined with grapes produced from both 100 year-old
vines and younger ones. The result is a wine that expresses
complexity of flavour and individual character.
Where nature creates unique wines between the Ebro and Najerilla.
The family’s 80 hectares (197 acres) are grown in outstanding terroir located between the Ebro and Najerilla rivers, where the humidity and landscape create a very special microclimate, resulting in mild winters and warm, dry summers with marked temperature variations between day and night during the period of grape ripening.
The vines grow in poor and very healthy limestone and clay soils, which are perfectly suited to vine-growing and ensure low yields of high quality. Additionally, the south facing slopes on which the vines are grown guarantee maximum exposure to sunlight. These factors, together with balanced rainfall, create very favourable conditions for vine growth, from the vine roots to the grape bunches.
Perfect soil and climate.
There, the soil is limestone and clay, poor yet very healthy, which is ideal for vine cultivation, ensuring low-yield, high-quality harvests. Additionally, the south-facing orientation of the vineyards ensures maximum utilization of sunlight. All of this, combined with balanced rainfall, results in climatic conditions that favor the vine’s good development, from the root to the grape cluster.
