The guarantee of the high quality of our products is due to a great
extent to the rigorous techniques used to grow the grapes at the
Nadal Estate; the thorough knowledge of the over 40 vineyards, which
make up the estate, the capacity of its soil to produce first-class
grapes and our extensive experience in grape-growing, have allowed us
to get to where we are today.
From our ancestors we have inherited experience and respect for
nature. When we replant a vine, we do not disinfect the soil with
chemicals, we use the traditional techniques: we work the soil, remove
the roots and, for the following eight years, plant cereals (to
oxygenate and reconstitute the soil). At least 5% of the total surface
area of the exploitation are not cultivated: borders, paths, natural
channels for rainwater… every five years we analyse the soil in order
to add the right amount of fertiliser to ensure that the plants are
balanced and produce the best grapes. We do not use herbicides to
eliminate ‘weeds’ or pests. We prefer to use natural, traditional
methods such as green pruning and controlling the yield of the vine
instead of chemicals.
