Viñedos Verticales
Description
Data of interest
Viñedos Verticales is the project in the Axarquía region of Málaga by two friends, Juan Muñoz, a third-generation viticulturist and winemaker in the area, and the winemaker Vicente Inat. The winery began its journey in 2015, in the town of Moclinejo, where the small plots that make up its 8 hectares of vineyard are located.
As its name suggests, the main hallmark of Viñedos Verticales is the unique location of the vines they work with. Aged between 40 and 100 years, these vines are planted on steep slopes with slate soils, at an altitude of between 400 and 1000 meters above sea level, which also exerts its influence due to its proximity. Because of the rugged terrain, the viticulture practiced is traditional and includes mule plowing, with moscatel being the predominant variety, complemented by other varieties such as Pedro Ximénez, and the more minor doradilla and rome.
The work in the vineyard, respectful of the environment, continues in the winery with a winemaking process free of artifices and unnecessary additions, based on natural fermentations and aging in wooden vats, century-old foudres, and concrete tanks. A philosophy committed to tradition and its own roots that, under the D.O. Málaga y Sierras de Málaga, produces wines of great quality and limited production, with a distinctive personality, a mineral profile, and remarkable longevity.
