Esteban Martin combines the traditions of Cariñena (which has given its name to the Carignan variety popular in the Languedoc in particular; curiously, here it is known as Mazuela) with modern techniques.

The vineyard is low-level for the DO at 500 metres (the DO is planted between 400 and 800 metres by the Sierra de la Virgen mountains). The vineyards benefit from a special micro-climate which has an unmistakable impact on the grapes. The climate is continental: dry with long, hot summers and cold winters and extreme temperature fluctuations (between -8°C and 38°C) tempered by the “Cierzo” a cold northerly wind which helps to keep the humidity low.

The vineyard is planted with Garnacha (the same as the Southern Rhône's Grenache) along with Tempranillo and Mazuela for reds and international varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. As with any quality producer, great attention is given to the fruit selection and the policy of care is carried through the entire winemaking process. The result is structured, intense and fruity wines.
