Guelbenzu
has 46 hectares of vineyard located in Vierlas, right in the
heart of the Queiles valley, on the Lombana estate.
The Lombana is an elongated estate made up of materials from
the tertiary period, and more than 22.5 million years old. The
stony, infertile ground is extraordinary for growing grapes
due to its texture, drainage, low yields, resistance to drought
and low risk of frost.
The proximity of Mount Moncayo causes the temperature fluctuations
between day and night to be very high, which contributes positively
to the formation of tannins and anthocyanins, essential for
the production of round wines with body, character and aging
ability.
In addition, the north wind which blows through the area, is
a constant strong, dry, cold wind with significant drying capacity,
which favours evaporation and prevents the formation of fogs
and moisture.
