Gordonzello
Located within one of the younger Spanish designated Wine regions, DO Tierra de León, Gordonzello vineyards grow in a unique environment along Cea's riverbed.
These vineyards jealously keep a secret: the aromas, color, body, flavor... the essence of the terroir captured by its local grape: Prieto Picudo.
The terroir is characterized by low organic matter with abundant cobblestone surface that provides good aeration, drainage and root penetration. Mainly composed of clay loam to a lesser extend of fine sand, it retains moisture to make it available to the vines during the dry summers.
All vineyards are rain-fed and grow on low trellis (1.7m). The main varietals in Gordonzello are the DO Tierra de Leon natives: Prieto Picudo and Albarín, and to a lesser extent the reds: Tempranillo and Mencía and white: Verdejo. Varieties that give us excellent results to develop reds and rosés with personality and fresh and fruity whites, very suitable all for oak aging.
