DESIGN
& ARCHITECTURE

A building that seamlessly blends in with the topography and landscape of the area.

Designed by the Spanish architect Enrique Johansson de Terry, the winery's architecture reflects the core concept of respect and awareness of the natural environment, built on four floors with a height between each one of almost 13 meters, thus adapting to the natural slope of the land. The winemaking process is therefore based on gravity.

Its outer image shows three separate structures, although they are connected with each other via a glass-covered horizontal section allowing for the landscape to be an everpresent feature, both from within and without.

Efficiency

The winery is fitted with solar panels and uses biomass to meet its energy requirements.

Natural ventilation

The ceiling, in the shape of a wave, protects the structures from the winds blowing in the valley and creates a system of natural ventilation.

Landscaped gardens

A spectacular garden spread over 3 hectares including a protected holm oak grove, along with pines, oaks, pear trees, strawberry trees, evergreens, meadows, rose bushes, vines and aromatic herbs.
