Viñas Viejas

Viñas Viejas, which translates to "old vines" in Spanish, refers to grapevines that are typically over 35 years old and often much older. These vines are prized in winemaking because they tend to produce smaller yields of grapes but with more concentrated flavors and unique characteristics. As the vines age, they develop deeper root systems, allowing them to access more nutrients and water. This often results in wines that exhibit rich complexity and depth. Regions known for Viñas Viejas include parts of Spain and France, where traditional winemaking techniques celebrate the quality of these venerable vines.
