 |
The
climate of the area is continental, influenced by its proximity to the
Mediterranean on the east side and La Mancha plateau on the west side.
It is a sunny and dry climate, with some 3,000 hours of sun a year and
scant rains – some 300 litres per square metre a year; these rains
are very irregular and occasionally can become torrential downpours.
|
The
average annual temperature is 16º, with cold winters that reach
temperatures below zero and hot summer of temperatures exceeding 40º.
The frost period usually takes place between the months of November
and March. |
Soil |
|
 |
 |
The
soils are brown, brown-lime and lime and generally have a large capacity
for water and medium permeability. This permits the vineyards to subsist
under lengthy drought conditions, making the most of the available water.
These are soils with very little organic matter – its structure
doesn't allow the propagation of phylloxera. |
The
soil has a high pH and low salinity and an ungrafted and sand-ungrafted
texture that gives it good aeration. The vineyards are located on an
area between 500 and 800 metres above sea level. |
