48. BLECUA Our icon wine is the result of a “triple selección” process: 1) Selection of vineyards: The seven best parcels from our vineyards were selected to be the source of the grapes from which Blecua is produced (14 has.) 2) Selection of bunches: i n the vineyards (hand pick grapes) and in the cellar (triage table) 3) Selection of barrels: new Allier oak barrels from 4 different cooperages SECASTILLA On stony slopes between 700 and 800 metres above sea level, we have recovered very old Garnacha vineyards, the traditional variety from Secastilla Valley. The altitude together with a special orientation of the vines ensures many hours of sunshine, which naturally favors the ripening of the fruit. Since the moment we discovered this area, we have been working to recover old vineyards and planting new ones: Parraleta, Moristel, Cariñena, ...... total 40 has. We currently produce Secastilla, La Miranda de Secastilla and La Miranda Blanca in this area.
