Details

This fully functioning winery is for sale in the region of Castilla - La Mancha, which is one of the greatest areas of the wine tradition in Spain.

This wonderful business symbolises the hard work and patience of a team of people which, from the year 2000, has been pursuing a dream, deeply rooted in the land that has given it shelter.

The project began with the construction of a completely new building adjacent to the vineyards, which run along the left bank of the Zancara River. The vines are planted in pale red soil that is loose, rich, and bathed in light which permit an optimal development of grapes of exceptional maturity

Nothing in the making of this winery has been left to chance, from the ideas and development of the vineyard, the design of the winery, in total resonance with the surroundings to the methods of harvesting and producing the wines. Everything has been thoroughly thought through with a sole aim in mind: to obtain wines that are capable of expressing all the complexity and richness of the vineyards, with a unique style that is theirs. and theirs alone

Location:
The winery, located in the Castilian plateau, in the land of Cervantes's Don Quixote, is a strip of privileged land on the left bank of River Zancara, near the village of Arenales de San Gregorio (Ciudad Real). Its pale, red earth presents special conditions which are unique to the cultivation of the best vines. The land, also called Pago (Terroir) at 650 metres above sea level has exceptional climactical conditions, harmoniously sheltering both the native Tempranillo and the foreign Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The winery is well integrated in its environment, harmonising with the essence of the land itself and, in spite of its modernity, maintains the old flavour and style of Castilian architecture. Set in the centre of its own vineyards, the winery uses all its own raw materials, conscientiously cultivated day by day until its harvesting in the month of August.

A commitment with nature:
The vineyards are cultivated in pale red soil which has a sandy - clay composition: terroir of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah make up the different varieties, immersed in a continental climate with temperatures between - 10 degrees C and 40 degrees C with an annual precipitation of 300-400 mm and with an average 2,500 to 2,700 hours of sun per year in the period of vegetation. ,

For cultivation, only fermented mixtures of organic sheep manure are used instead of chemical, synthetic fertilisers. No herbicides or pesticides are used and neither is it necessary to assist with additional irrigation due to the special composition of the earth and the interest in obtaining low yielding in production. Harvesting is done by hand at the ideal moment in time, attending to both intuitive (organoleptic) and technical (colour, sugar levels, acidity levels, ph, etc. ) factors.

Wines at the highest level of quality:
The wines are certified with the denomination of Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla. They are wines of only one winery estate, known as pagos (Terroir), because the grapes come from one land. The identity of the origin of a wine goes as far back as the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt, as recently accredited by scientific researchers who have discovered inscriptions in the amphorae where they kept their alcohol/drinks, and which hold information about the origins of the vines, the year of the harvest, the variety of the grape and the winemaker.

Due to personal merit, the winery has entered the most demanding commercial circuits, gaining international acknowledgement and has been included in such prestigious lists as the Parker list.

In short, at this winery, we turn our dreams into reality through an collaboration which combines tradition and avant-garde creation, where Art and author strive to produce an exceptional product, blending the fruity characteristic with the variety of the land, creating wines with a personal, exclusive identity.

Spain Property Buying Guide

1. Putting down a Holding Deposit

On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner. This part of the process is not binding. We would recommend using an independent English speaking legal advisor. Once a purchase price has been agreed, normally a holding or reserve deposit will be required to ensure the property is removed from the market. The sum required will vary between properties and will be based on the purchase price. A time limit for the preagreement to be signed will be arranged and there will also be legal checks to be made.

2. Setting up a Pre-agreement (Contrato privado de compraventa)

The pre-agreement will set out the conditions under which the Buyer and Seller agree to complete the purchase of the property and the price they have agreed upon. Relevant details will generally be included for example the property details, purchase price and the date for completion. A deposit will be required at this point, this will vary, but will generally be 10% of the agreed price. This agreement will include a penal clause if the sale does not go through. If the seller pulls out of the sale your compensation will be double the deposit you have paid, but if you decide not to go through with the sale then your deposit will be lost. Certain checks will need to be made before signing the contract, checks should be made against the title of the property, mortgage status and if the property has any debts held against it. The planning status should also be looked into. These conditions can be varied by the seller and the buyer and other types of agreement can be made.

3. The Contract (Escritura de compraventa)

Before a non-Spanish purchaser can buy a Spanish property they will need to have set up a Spanish bank account and obtained a Spanish tax number (NIE). The completion will take place in the presence of a Notary Public. This is a Spanish public official, by law the deed of sale must be witnessed by a Notary Public. You will also need your own independent, expert legal advisor to act on your behalf. On Completion the buyer must pay the balance, that is the price agreed after the deposit has been deducted, plus any other fees on the completion date. Both buyer and seller must sign the Escritura de compraventa contract, (this is the Spanish equivalent of the title deeds). The title deeds (escritura) will be given to the buyer, this will be done in the presence of a Notary Public, they will certify that the transfer has taken place. The tax office will be sent a copy and the property registry will be informed of the transfer.
