The vineyard

The vineyard of Tera y Castro is located in La Seca, in the heart of the region of Rueda which has its own appellation. The planted area of our vineyards is approximately 20 hectares, complemented with old vineyards under the technical care and control of Tera y Castro.

Grapes from the oldest vineyards are used to produce Dilectum, an excellent quality barrel fermented wine which we consider to be our flagship offering.

Both the slightly undulated topography of the terrain and the continental climate, with its varied temperatures, help vine growing in order to obtain balanced wines with ideal levels of sugar and acidity.

The stony landscape naturally insulates and protects the roots of the vine and is the ideal habitat for the best selected varieties of the indigenous verdejo grape, present in the area since the year 1000.

The excellent quality of both the land and the vine is complemented with the latest viticultural techniques, allowing us to select the best fruits and achieve the most balanced development of the vineyard.

In order to grow the best grapes for selection, pruning and thinning of bunches during the growing season take place long before the grape harvest. Thus, we achieve wines of the best quality.
