EL CAMPEADOR

El Campeador DOP Jumilla

To guarantee the survival of our ancient vines, our farmers use the marcottage replanting system: When a vine reaches the end of its long lifecycle, we take a branch of an adjacent vine and introduce it to the soil. We then guide the branch so that it emerges where the dead vine used to be. The branch remains connected to the origin vine for some years, until its roots are strong enough to keep growing on its own. This is a vital system, practically extinct due to its high costs and slow process, that we use to ensure the continuity of our original and historic vines.
