VILAPLANA WINERIES
Las Molineras, 23, 18810 Caniles, Granada
We are winegrowers. It is an exciting, complex profession that requires a lot of dedication. Our most important work is in the field, where we are throughout the year pending the good development of the vines so that they produce high quality grapes. This passion we have for understanding and caring for the vineyard, integrated into its environment and respecting biodiversity, we inherited from Grandfather Juan.
More than a profession, it is a way of life, which allows us to be in contact with nature and its annual cycles. Recovering life in the field.
Our winery is located in the countryside, located in the center of the farm itself and surrounded by vineyards. It is a typical Andalusian farmhouse. Built in 3 levels, 2 of them underground that allows us, on the one hand, to work by gravity, carrying out the racking in a smoother way, and on the other hand, to maintain a stable temperature and humidity throughout the year; perfect conditions for the elaboration and aging of the wines.
Our way of elaborating consists of accompanying the transformation of the must into wine, intervening as little as possible.
Starting from excellent grapes, we seek that the wines express their origin, where they have been grown and the landscape that surrounds them.
We always harvest by hand, selecting the grapes in the field and transporting them in 12kg boxes to the winery, where they pass a second control at the selection table.
The bunches are destemmed and the grapes are gently pressed before or after fermentation, depending on the type of wine we make.
In the lower part of the cellar, the wine ages in 300-liter barrels, from several cooperages.
The finished wines are gently filtered and bottled manually.
