BODEGAS CONTRERAS, S.L.


CIF: B73245441

Following half a century without producing, in 2007 Contreras Winery opened its doors to retrieve those wines which at one time were sought after in Murcia, Almeria and Granada. Tradition, excellent raw materials treated with care, and the latest technology combine to produce high quality signature wines. Within the grounds of the old cellar of Los Contreras (over four thousand square meters), a new winery of 450m2 rectangular floors has been built, its first vintage being in 2007. It is designed for small production volumes in order to obtain high quality wines. All our vineyards are located in the microclimate of the highlands of Lorca. These are characterized by calcareous soils with little water retention which subjects the vineyards to water stress year after year. With an average rainfall of under 200l a year, these vines have a yield of about 2kg of grapes per year. The crop is located at above 800m in altitude so that the crops ripen late and the phytosanitary characteristics of these areas are better than those in surrounding areas. Growing grapes in southeastern Spain means doing so with the Monastrell grape, and also making wine of great structure where more than 3,000 hours of sunshine a year make the concentration of sugars in the berry very high. All our wines are the characteristic of the area, making the Monastrell our niche market differentiator. As well as Monastrell, we also cultivate other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, all of them being red wine varieties.
