Bodegas Cruz Conde
Über das Weingut und die Weine
The army Commandant Mr. Rafael Cruz Conde founded the Cellar in 1902 in order to produce, age and commercialize the best wines from Montilla-Moriles area: generous wines, white wines, Pedro Ximenez sweet wines and Brandies. As a result of the intense wine activity, Cruz Conde became one of the most important wineries in the area, equipped with a great infrastructure. The activity development enabled the construction of a subterranean cellar composed by 6 vaulted naves and other cellars with an exceptional architecture.
The vineyards are mainly formed by the grapevine “Pedro Ximenez”, which represents 90% of the grapes production in the D.O. area. Thanks to high temperatures in this region, the grapes present a high content in sugars (244 grammes per litter of must) and as a consequence, a natural alcoholic degree (up to 14,5º after the fermentation).
