Viticulturists since 1982. Our family embarked on this adventure, responding to the desire to make sincere wines, with personality, that convey the purity of our land through sustainable viticulture. Effort, perseverance, and dedication have brought us here, while enthusiasm and passion drive us towards the future. In 2012, Parajes del Valle winery joined the group, located in Jumilla, with the purpose of continuing this project of making sincere and personality-filled wines.
From Parajes del Valle, we produce high-quality, elegant, and balanced wines, very expressive and tasty. They are honest and respectful of their typicity, carrying a high concentration of color and aromas and showing delicacy and complexity, a carefully crafted, authentic, and personal way of interpreting the varieties of the D.O.P. Jumilla and D.O.P. Manchuela. Our vineyards are certified by Organic Agriculture, grown in goblet training system and strict dry farming, rescuing traditional viticulture and minimizing impact on the environment. We advocate for minimal intervention, carrying out only the necessary tasks and caring for our vines so that they produce in a balanced way and provide us with the best raw material for our wines. Our plots are located at altitudes between 600 and 800 m, always seeking shady areas and proximity to the mountains to obtain fresh and balanced grapes.

Lismore Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir
Complex bouquet of crushed rose petals, wild jasmine and fresh French herbs followed by a palate full of cranberry, raspberry and a long savory finish.
The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness. 30% whole bunch fermented in large 5000 liter vats with gentle pump-overs twice a day. The process allowed for a long extraction period which lends to the fruit expression and structure of this wine. The free run wine was drained off and the fermented grapes were then pressed in a traditional wooden basket press. The wine was racked into 225, 300 and 500 liter barrels where malolactic fermentation took place and the wine was aged for 10 months. 35% new French oak was used.
Review:
"The 2018 Pinot Noir comes from Walker Bay and Kaaimansgat and includes 30% whole-bunch fruit, aged for 11 months in 25% new oak. The bouquet sports vivid red cherry and raspberry fruit that is exceptionally well defined and beautifully integrated with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, well-judged acidity and a slightly fleshy texture. There is just the right amount of salinity here, and the finish is kept on a tight leash, allowing the detail and precision to be fully expressed. A slight sour edge on the finish keeps you coming back for another sip. Excellent and reassuringly classy. - Neal Martin" - Antonio Galloni's Vinous (November 2019), 92 pts
"Walker Bay and Elandskloof are the twin sources of 30% whole bunch-fermented Pinot from Sam O'Keefe. Juicy, floral and charming, it's a graceful, fruit forward style with some clove and tobacco spice and refreshing acidity. The finish is a little firmer than I remember. 2020-24"- Tim Atkin (South Africa 2020 Special Report), 92 pts
