The new Viñedo Singular geographical indication designates wines from particular vineyards or estates and is directly linked to the terroir, which it aims to identify and valorise on the label, tied to the quality requirement that they be excellent wines. Requirements 1. Grapes coming exclusively from a plot or plots that constitute the Viñedo Singular. 2. Vinification, ageing, storage and bottling within the same winery. 3. Minor geographical unit that can comprise a single or several cadastral plots. 4. Minimum age of the vineyard: 5. Evidence, by means of any legally valid title, of having had the exclusive use of the production of the viñedo singular for a minimum period of 10 years without interruption. 6. Maximum production: 5,000 kg/ha for red varieties and 6,922 kg/ha for white varieties. 7. Maximum grape-to-wine ratio: 65%. 8. Specific Grape Grower’s Card. Growing practices 1. The viñedo singular must be balanced and have limited vigour. During the grape ripening stage, canopy growth should cease completely. 2. Only a single tipping is permitted. 3. Harvested manually. — 2 years ago
