The Plots
“La Platera”, “Miraflores Alta” and “Camino del Puerto”
They look for the best raw material, so they don’t have to touch it afterwards.
Muchada-Léclapart only makes wine with grapes from their own vineyards, cared for by themselves. All of their wines come from their plots and in no case they are made from grapes from other winegrowers.
The plots are located in Sanlúcar de Barrameda and Chipiona in the closest “pagos” to the Atlantic Ocean and facing west, to the freshness of the sea breeze, which allows working with a balanced maturation without a high alcoholic strength; ideal for making a dry white wine with a natural graduation.
