- Soil
- The ground is rocky and full of gravel from the alluvium left by the River Duero as it passes through the area.The soil at Valdecuevas is one of the key factors in the excellent quality of its wines, as the aeration permitted by the gravel, in conjunction with the area’s special microclimate with dry, very cold winters and hot summers with cool nights, results in the highest quality grapes.The soil texture is sandy/loamy and it has a basic pH.
