DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
The Aranzada Winery.
The Aranzada winery is situated in the
town of Alhama de Granada, a municipality
at an altitude of 895 metres in the south
west of the Granada region. Alhama de
Granada, 60km inland from the Costa del
Sol, is a zone of extensive plains to the
North and a large mountainous region to
the South.
This region has a long tradition of vine cultivation and wine production and is
currently gaining prominence within the Granada wine market.
Alhama de Granada is known for its quality grape juice which is produced from
the zone’s infamous traditional method of grape pressing. Over some time
there had been attempts to form a cooperative among Alhamenian wine
producers which could market wines under a D.O (Denominación de origen).
Finally at the beginning of 2004 a number of founding associates, who for a
while had worked together to make improvements in local grape production by
introducing new methods of cultivation and labour, established the Aranzada
winery.

The Aranzada winery guarantees the quality of its production through its
careful selection of the best grapes. It has developed a clear proposition in local
agricultural production that values the use of natural resources in the
cultivation of crops. Aranzada has responded to changes in the consumption
habits of the population, increased demands in the market for sustainable
development and stands out amongst the strong competition.
The Aranzada winery pays particular attention to two fundamental aspects
which ensures it produces excellent grape juice:
• it uses the best technology in the production process to focus on every detail
that ultimately influences the process of cultivation, production and aging.
• it makes careful selection of its crop only choosing grapes of the very best
quality.

The Aranzada vineyards, situated in Alhama de Granada, are grown on slate
soil, situated at a high altitude (between 900 and 1,100 metres) and influenced
by the Mediterranean sea breeze, that softens the temperatures. The
combination of these factors creates a microclimate which favours the
cultivation of the vines producing a natural product of the highest quality. The
altitude prevents the fruit ripening too quickly which enables it to reach its full
form. These conditions give the yield considerable advantage over the wines of
other zones. Our experts further control the ripening process to prevent any
distortion of the final product.

This product enters the market with an exceptional quality, due to the terroir:
the special characteristics of the soil and the climate in this zone, which leaves
its imprint on each drop of these wines which are of incomparable aroma and
palette. The winery produces white wines, crianzas and sweet reds. A variety
of grapes are used in the production of the reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah,
Tempranillo, Merlot and Rome. The Rome grape is one of the few local varieties
from Andalucia, only cultivated in the Axarquia of Malaga and Alhama de
Granada regions. The white wines are produced using Chardonnay, Sauvignon
Blanc, Palomino and Pedro Ximenez grapes.
The three wonders of Granada: the Alhambra Palace; the Sierra Nevada and
the Aranzada of Alhama!
