The exotic location allows the winery to enjoy the spectacular view of the landscape that remains divided and segregated into three terraces.

Finca Valpiedra enjoys a beneficial microclimate that is half-Mediterranean and half-Atlantic. It allows the summers to be sunny and warm, and the winters are long and cold.

The cold and moist breeze that flows through the night prevents the grapevines from dehydrating. Moreover, the risk of frost gets lowered due to the proximity to the sea.
