It was back in 1963 that the Cuartero family planted their first vines in the barren, mineral soil of Tabuenca, Spain. Today, the Cuartero brothers are the second generation to run this high-altitude winery, located 700 m above sea level. The climatic conditions mean that the now 19-hectare estate, which has been part of Palmeri since 2012, produces only small yields.
