Real de Asúa originates from our Carromaza plot, a singular vineyard nestled on a cool hillside at 600 metres above sea level, surrounded by Mediterranean forest. Due to its setting, the site is heavily influenced by Atlantic weather patterns — breezy and frost-prone — though it enjoys natural protection from the Sierra de Cantabria, which contributes to its remarkable freshness.
Tempranillo vines are trained on a trellis system for protection from the strong winds. They are rooted in sandy clay soils that rest atop deeper layers of red clay, lending structure and complexity to the fruit.
The vineyard is oriented northwest to southwest and receives an average annual rainfall of around 500 mm in typical years.
