SOIL OF MARCO DE JEREZ<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Albariza is a type of soil noted for its ability to retain moisture, which benefits the vine during the dry months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its spongy structure absorbs large amounts of water during rainy periods and prevents evaporation in hot seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other types of soils in the region are ‘mud’ and ‘sand’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n TYPES OF GRAPES<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The varieties suitable for making sherry are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Palomino<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Peter Jimenez<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Muscatel<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n VINE MORPHOLOGY<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The vines are grown in rows called li\u00f1os, with trellises where the plants are tied to receive sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tillage of the land seeks to retain water in winter and conserve humidity in spring and summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In winter, pools are built to store rainwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In spring, streets are graded and weeds are removed to maintain moisture in the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ultimate goal is to obtain quality grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n WINES OF THE MARCO. DRY WINES<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They are the most famous and rich in nuances of the wide range of sherry wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As its name indicates, it has a minimal sugar content as it is obtained through complete fermentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n SWEET WINES<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The sweet wines are made with the Pedro Xim\u00e9nez and Muscat grape varieties, thus giving a better concentration of sugars in the sunning phase, the grapes are spread on mats between 7 and 15 days, the grapes become raisins due to a process overripe, evaporating the water and giving a higher concentration of sugars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n MIRAFLORES ALTO<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a vineyard house built in 1888 with traditional architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although it is in a state of ruin, it still maintains the charm of the unique house it once was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n THE MARQUESITA<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The setting of Jerez presents gently sloping hills or hills covered by a dazzlingly white limestone soil: La Albariza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its high moisture retention capacity means that sherry vineyards are planted in this type of soil; it is also compacted by heat, preventing evaporation and thus allowing good distribution of the root system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n ARMIJO CASA DE VI\u00d1AS<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Located in the Miraflores payment or better known as the Armijo payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Its origins date back to the end of the 17th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It currently belongs to the Gaspar Florido winery heirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The farm has a viewpoint to appreciate the horizon of the vineyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The house consists of a central patio, cistern stables, cellar, outbuildings\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also worth highlighting is the original tile with the name “Armijo” found on the fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n THE SUNISHED<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vineyard house that is located on the highest point of the Miraflores del Armijo itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the entrance to the property, the name of the property stands out, made of wrought iron. From this place you can see spectacular views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n BIRDWATCHING<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bird watching focuses on the contemplation and study of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This hobby is due to the art of recognizing the different species, taking into account the song or plumage among other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Located on the northwest coast, this territory acquires great ornithological importance, both for resident and migratory birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can highlight the reddish warbler or “caberrubia”, this unique bird comes from Africa to nest in our province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The red-legged or red-legged partridge has a natural preference to live among vines, its habitats are established among bushes and the margins of vineyards, where there is also an abundance of wild grasses on which it feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The wheatear or white-tailed wheatear because of its white tail and rump. Its presence in the vineyard area is a harmony of vineyards with an ecological balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SOIL OF MARCO DE JEREZ Albariza is a type of soil noted for its ability to retain moisture, which benefits the vine during the dry months.
