Viñedos Balmoral is a family winery that finds its inspiration in Finca El Moralejo, where the founders discovered its best kept secret: the character of the vines in a pure state, more than 1000m above the sea level. Its proximity to the Mediterranean sea favours an optimal phenolic ripeness along with the proper physiological maturity of the grapes. This ensures the finest expression of our unique terroir, in which the calcareous clay soil provides with elegant aromas of scrubland. This natural heritage is pampered through a careful and precise viticulture, so our winemaker Hervé Jestin can obtain the purest must, the essential factor for premium wines.
