BODEGAS PIEDRA JURADA

Old Perdomo found a huge stone with a hole (in the Canary Islands, "Juro") here to put his wine throughout the working day, maintaining its temperature. This stone gives impetus to their grandchildren, Frades and Juan Perdomo, to continue with the cultivation of the vine, admirably being born, the Piedra Jurada wines in the year 2000. In the year 2013, the fourth generation, Lucía and Patricia , take over the generation and continue with the work of cultivation and production in the area of ??Briesta, in the municipality of Garafía. The wines acquire the identity of the evolved volcanic lands (the oldest part of the island), vines planted free standing at more than a thousand meters of altitude, the proximity of the pine forest and the native yeasts in the cellar.

We only and only work in the northern region of the island, and more specifically in Puntagorda and Garafía. All the plots we work with are located in the highlands (above 1000 meters) and are carried out under environmentally sustainable agriculture (without the use of herbicides, pesticides and treatment schedules). An area highly sensitive to fire that forces us to clean the farm between June and October, in our case, manually using a barbecue, brushcutter and tractor. For us, it is important to maintain the identity that the area brings to our wines, since the island is divided into 3 sub-areas (which at the time were proposed to be 3 DO's) for various reasons: soil composition, climatology. This results in different varieties and production systems in each area, and inevitably, in wines with completely different profiles.
