Pago de Los Balagueses is recognised as D.O.P. Los Balagueses, Vino de Pago, by the European Union, which is the highest recognition for a vineyard in Spain. The estate is located near the Solana de Las Pilillas, an enclave of piles dug into the limestone rock where the Iberians made wine in the 5th century BC. Bodegas Vegalfaro carries out practices that were already carried out more than 2,500 years BC in this steep Hoces del Cabriel Natural Park – where it has excellent vineyards that enjoy a good altitude – surrounded by pine forests, on limestone soils from the Tertiary and Upper Miocene. All the vineyard plots have the Organic Certification applying the principles of Biodynamics.
The 50 years old Syrah vineyards are cultivated on trellises, in a 7-hectare enclave located in the middle of pine forests,
aromatic plants and almond trees. Yields are quite low, with less than 1.8 kilos per vine. The grapes are harvested by hand at the optimum degree of ripeness, they are destemmed and not crushed, proceeding to a cold pre-maceration for their subsequent fermentation, with indigenous yeast, at a controlled temperature not exceeding 28º, with gentle pumping over and applying the breaking of the skins by means of pigeage, then the wine is macerated with them for approximately twenty more days for its subsequent malolactic fermentation, in French and Hungarian oak barrels that, once finished, undergo an aging of 10 – 12 months: 70% in new barrels and 30% in used ones. They then spend a minimum of 6 months in the bottle for their commercialization. In this way, the type of grape variety and the expressiveness of the plot are maximized.
