Álvar de Dios

Álvar de Dios Hernández began independently farming a vineyard he had inherited from his grandfather in 2008; the vineyard was planted in 1919 and is located in El Pego. The estate has around ten hectares of vines and works with old, partly ungrafted vineyard sites. In the vineyard, the focus is on low-impact or biodynamic farming, hand harvesting and preserving old vines. In the cellar, the winery relies on spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, whole bunches, large wooden vessels, concrete and as little intervention as possible; several wines are neither filtered nor fined.
