Lagar de la Salud

Description Lagar de la Salud

Lagar de la Salud is the small family estate of Fátima Ceballos and Miguel Puig. They met in France and worked for famous wine estates all around the world, before going back to their roots in Cordoba so as to put Pedro Ximénez back on the map. Not with sweet wines, but dry wines that express their terroir. Dulas (anagram of Salud, health) is their brand. Fátima is also the oenologist in charge of the Miut range at Toro Albala, where she can apply her same philosophy on some of the best Montilla-Moriles terroirs.

History Lagar de la Salud

History Lagar de la Salud

Fátima Ceballos and Miguel Puig met at Gayda's, one of the leading estates in the Languedoc. Miguel was already experimenting with red wines at the familiy estate of Lagar de la Salud. After traveling and working in famous wineries all around the world, they decided to come back to Montilla, asking themselves whit on earth nobody has tried to explore the potential of Pedro Ximénez in dry white wines. In 2015 they started experimental vinifications on the family estate. As Fátima also worked along the same philosophy with Toro Albala, owner of some of the best terroirs in Montilla-Moriles, they could harbour great ambitions

Pedro Ximénez is the dominant grape here. Fátima sees to it that it expresses its terroir to the max, notably by pruning and cultivating in order to get lower yields, and her winemaking is also different. As a result, she makes some of Spain's most fantastic whites.

Terroir Lagar de la Salud Terroir Lagar de la Salud

Terroir Lagar de la Salud

Around Montilla, one finds soils -quite similar to the Jerez albariza - here they call it antehojuela, but it is stonier, more porous and less dense than albariza. When it is wet, the type of soil gets softer, but when it dries up, it gets harder very quick. This terroir is a sponge which retains water during wintertime.

Vinification Lagar de la Salud

Vinification Lagar de la Salud

The yields on the estate are much lower than elsewhere in the region, partly because Fatima prunes the vines much shorter. The harvesting is done by hand and a second selection of the grapes is operated when they arrive at the winery. Then they are fermented in stainless steel tanks, with as little intervention as possible. The wines are aged in tanks or barrels, on their lees.
