A dream built upon steadfast will, perseverance and enthusiasm

Our dream to make great Andalusian red wine first started with the will to carry out our project and prove it could be done, followed by the unshakeable desire to make it happen. What guides us on our path is not only about reaching our final goal but also about all the vibrant experiences along the way. That’s how Huerta de Albalá wines came to be.

Wines that embody the dreams and passion of those of us who live and breathe to make one of the best red wines Spain has to offer.

Welcome to Huerta de Albalá, welcome to the heart and soul of Cádiz.

Vineyard

The land where the dream was born

Huerta de Albalá is located in Arcos de la Frontera, at 150 metres above sea level. A beautiful estate that rambles over 91 hectares of rolling hills, steeped in history that dates back to over 2,000 years ago, when the Romans had the vision and foresight to settle in this splendid and fertile land.

Our 75 hectares of vineyards have 225,000 vines comprised of Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tintilla de Rota—this last, the native variety.  All of them grow in a unique microclimate created by the nearby Bornos reservoir and the Grazalema mountain range, and in a variety of soil types.

In addition to these vineyards directly adjoining our winery, Huerta de Albalá has another 160 hectares in the Balbaína winegrowing district in Jerez de la Frontera, where Chardonnay grapes predominate.

Cellar

A place called home

Our winery covers an expanse of 4,600 sq. metres and is a model of how architecture can blend in harmoniously with the landscape. Perfectly integrated in its surroundings, our "French chateau" style facility combines the modern with the traditional, seamlessly blending cutting-edge technology and means of production with age-old, purely artisanal winemaking techniques.

The gravitationally fed winery is comprised of two different areas: the first. devoted to producing our Barbazul wine in stainless steel tanks while the second is where Taberner and Taberner Nº1 are made, in 5,000-litre French Allier oak tapered wine vats.

Beneath the winery, our wine cellar keeps 1,200 Allier oak barriques, made by only the best French wine barrel cooperages, chosen after years of research on how wine reacts to oak from various different geographic origins.
