VENTA D´AUBERT

VENTA D´AUBERT

In 1986, "Venta d'Aubert" was rediscovered and brought back to life by a Swiss couple. The land was largely uncultivated at the time, with plots of almond and olive trees, grazing land and an old vineyard of white Grenache grapes trained in the Gobelet style. In 1986, new vineyards were planted with different grape varieties to produce red and white wine. In 1995, a new winery was built with all the technical facilities for fully autonomous production, and in 2001 it was expanded to meet growing demand. The "Venta d'Aubert" estate covers 62 ha, of which 18 ha are currently planted with vines. The vineyards are located next to the winery. They grow in clay and limestone soils and are exposed to a Mediterranean and semi-continental climate, which promotes their development in a very positive way. The vines are dry-farmed, which is the traditional cultivation method in our region. Only estate-grown grapes, harvested by hand, are used in the wines. The aim is to cover every stage of the product: from the vineyard through the barrel to the final bottle. The vineyards have been cultivated according to organic principles for 15 years. Since the 2013 harvest, they have been certified by the Aragonese Committee for Organic Agriculture as an organic winery — both for vine growing and for winery production. A shop is available at the winery and online. Visits and tastings by prior appointment.

BODEGAS CRIAL

BODEGAS CRIAL

Bodegas Crial is a company dedicated to grape growing, winemaking, and wine marketing, and also champions wine tourism by offering guided visits to its facilities and wine tastings. Bodegas Crial is a family winery located in the village of Lledó, with more than 3,000 m² devoted to the world of wine and the backing of four generations cultivating vines and producing wine in Lledó. The family owns more than 70,000 vines with which, together with leased vineyards and grapes purchased from farmers in Lledó and neighbouring villages in the Matarraña and Terra Alta areas, they craft wines of excellent quality. They work with grapes from the DO TERRA ALTA and the IGP BAJO ARAGÓN designations. Grenache is the signature variety of the Matarraña region and of their vineyards, and consequently the most prominent in their wines, yielding highly appreciated and locally recognised vintages. In 2013 they expanded their facilities, adding an ageing cellar, a tasting room, and a shop to offer wine-tourism experiences and to sell their wines and local products. They also have their own distribution network, so their wines can be found in partner establishments throughout the neighbouring regions. The vineyards are located mainly in the villages of Lledó and Cretas, at altitudes between 450 and 570 m above sea level, where more than 70,000 vines of the following varieties are cultivated: white and red Grenache with different clones, Macabeo, Muscat, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo. Graciano is also grown on an experimental basis. They have an on-site shop and an online shop. Guided visits and wine tastings are available by prior booking.
