Lagar La Primilla is located in Montilla, in the south of the province of Cordoba, as are its vineyards, which form part of the Montilla-Moriles Designation of Origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Primilla has specialised in the wine production process since the end of the 19th century and is now the fourth and fifth generation of winemakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lagar La Primilla wines are “vinos en rama”. This means that they are wines that have not undergone stabilisation processes. In this way, wines are obtained that retain their aroma and flavour in their entirety, or what could also be called wines in their pure state.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

La Primilla is one of the few wineries that still maintains the name “lagar” in its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “lagar” is the press where the grapes were crushed in the past, and consequently, the building in which the press was stored.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the history of La Primilla, each generation has faced different challenges, such as, for example, the phylloxera plague, considered the greatest enemy of the vine, which almost wiped out all of La Primilla’s vineyards as it did in the rest of Europe. Or the modernisation of machinery and the launch of new productions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The vineyards of La Primilla grow along the Sierra de Montilla, which is located in a Superior Quality Subzone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This area is characterised by its albariza soils rich in calcium carbonate capable of absorbing up to 30% of humidity, the microclimate and sloping terrain, which makes it an ideal area for the growth of vineyards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
