La famiglia Escudero dispone di 150 ettari di vigneto di proprietà con un'età media di 50 anni

Lo­cat­ed on the south of Monte Yer­ga on the sun­ny side of the slopes, the Cues­ta de la Reina Es­tate com­mences at an al­ti­tude of 450 me­ters and as­cends to 800 me­ters. The soils, clayey-cal­care­ous, are very poor and with abun­dance of boul­ders. The es­tate of 120 Hectare has be­longed to the fam­i­ly for four gen­er­a­tions and the fam­i­ly it­self has al­ways cul­ti­vat­ed the vine­yard. The av­er­age age of the vines is over 40 years. Fol­low­ing a metic­u­lous mon­i­tor­ing of the vine­yard, the grapes are har­vest­ed at op­ti­mum ma­tu­ri­ty. The har­vest is done man­u­al­ly by se­lect­ing healthy and ripe grapes and re­ject­ing the bad and de­te­ri­o­rat­ed. The Har­vest was done in mid-Oc­to­ber for both the Tem­pranil­lo and the Gar­nacha grapes. The grapes are col­lect­ed in fruit box­es to avoid any kind of crush­ing.

The har­vest­ed grapes are trans­port­ed to the win­ery, and emp­tied di­rect­ly in­to the tanks where the grape bunch­es re­main in mac­er­a­tion for 12 days in or­der to go to the press. By gen­tly press­ing the skins and stems are sep­a­rat­ed of the must. The must con­tin­ues to fer­ment slow­ly at low tem­per­a­ture.
