The vineyard
The vineyard of Cup la Muntanya is located in a mountainous region of the DOP Alicante, surrounded by a charming landscape that reflects the area's diversity. This environment is characterized by a Mediterranean climate, ideal for the cultivation of indigenous varieties, where the mountains and valleys provide a microclimate conducive to vine growth.
The combination of sunlight, wind, and mineral-rich soil endows the grapes with unique character and flavor. Moreover, the Alicante wine landscape presents a mix of inland and coastal areas, where dry-farmed vineyards intertwine with fertile lands and lush vegetation.
The proximity to the sea also plays a crucial role in temperature balance, allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes. This rich environment significantly contributes to the quality of the wines produced by Cup la Muntanya, which are a true expression of the Alicante terroir.
