Planted in 1960, the 3.6-hectare La Poza de Ballesteros vineyard sits at an altitude of 560 meters above sea-level. A densely-spaced, west-facing vineyard, La Poza contains a nutrient-poor and visually interesting soil type that is comprised of small pebbles with light brown spots and white limestone formations that overlay a dense and rather homogeneous sub-soil mixture of silty-clay and loam – the perfect soil mixture for producing deep and tiny roots. The wine made from La Poza is consistently bold and fruit-forward.

"There is a note of fennel in the 2021 La Poza de Ballesteros, a wine that is more open, approachable and round, with a gentler palate. It feels comfortable and velvety. This is the opposite slope to Valdeginés, a soil with more sand. 4,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023."
