The estate is located in the town of Villabuena, in the well-known province of Alava. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate with an Atlantic influence, creating an environment conducive to vine culture. The vineyards are planted on gentle slopes and hills, ensuring optimal sun exposure. The region is renowned for its diversity of soils, which range from clay to sandstone, with a mixture of pebbles and gravel for good drainage.
