Near El Provencio is the beautiful 800-ha (1,977-acre) finca of Pago La Jaraba, a newly founded, single vineyard estate with an impressive, very well-equipped, three-year-old winery that produces some promising new wines. Pago La Jaraba has 80 ha (198 acres) of five-year Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot planted on pebbled, gravelly, alluvial soil on a gently sloping plain situated at 750 m (2,460 ft) above sea level.
The vines are trained on wires with drip irrigation. Javier Pons, Export Director showed me around and explained the winery’s philosophy. They use organic fertilizer from their own sheep, practice careful vine canopy management and perform green harvesting, or cutting inferior green grape bunches from overloaded vines to promote better quality in the grapes that are actually harvested. They use a grape selection table to eliminate bad bunches and have sophisticated computer-controlled devices that control the movement of the grapes, must and wines through the winery. Javier Pons says that La Jaraba strives for grapes that are “a little bit beyond the point of ripeness,� which he says, “assures that we always have ripe tannins. We want the wines to be warm, sweet and very drinkable.� A tasting of the wines of Pago la Jaraba, despite the youth of the vineyards, showed excellent promise. The seriousness of this project is underscored by the fact that, although they are now producing wines, they do not intend to begin selling them in Spain until 2005. More to come!!!! Gerry Dawes, a New York-based writer, has been traveling the wine roads of Spain for more than 30 years. In 2003, he was awarded the Premio Nacional de Gastronomía.
