Dominio de Cair Wineries

Cair is the result of the mixture of the surnames of two friends who materialized their dream: that of sharing the passion for wine in a cellar.

In 2008, the project was launched, after which Luís Cañas, one of the most interesting wineries in the country in recent years, is located. The Dominio de Cair winery is located very close to the town of La Aguilera, in the province of Burgos (spain), in the Ribera del Duero, surrounded by poor soils and extreme climatology.

                                                                     

David Herrero, directs the commercial department, and from the Enoteca Tierra Nuestra in Huelva, is responsible for explaining what lies behind this project and to tell us some of its most significant wines. Quality vineyards, which are identified with the land from which they come, along with a viticulture respectful of the environment, are basic ingredients for the production of quality wines. Biodynamic agriculture, the absence of pesticides and fungicides, the use of organic fertilizers, or techniques as advanced as pest prevention through the use of pheromones (sexual confusion) are some of the methods used by the winery for the production of its wines .

Calcareous, sandy and clayey soils make up the bulk of its own 23 hectares and another 96 strictly controlled by the winery team. Manual harvesting in glass vines, mostly with a mean age of 42 years, with a yield of 3,500 kilos per hectare.

Red wine of the more purple color than its predecessor of 2014 due to its youth, it presents a more fruity nose.
