The wine is made from old vines Garnacha Peluda (original clones of Garnacha) from the area around Lécera, about 200 km NW of the Priorat, south of the border of the D.O of Somontano. The vines used for the wine Evohé start at the age of 30 yearsand go up in age. The yield is between 15 to 24 hl/ha. The project started out in cooperation between winemaker Joan Mila and the winery Bodegas Leceranas.

Evohé is fermented at a medium temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, macerated with the skins around 12 days with regular over pumping. It has no oak treatment at all and is after fermentation kept in large deposits of 40 000 liters to retain freshness and fruitiness. After its malolactic fermentation it has been cold stabilized and clarified but filtered quite gently.

Soil and climate: The grapes are cultivated at an altitude of 500 to 600 meters. With a regular season with about 95% sun days and 350-400 mm of rainfall. Low humidity and cooling inland winds makes it ideal for the Garnacha vine to grow in this poor chalky clay soils.

About Bajo Aragón and VT Bajo Aragón: This appellation for Vino el la Tierra is located between the provinces o Zaragoza,

Teruel and Castellón. The creation of the region of the Low Aragon has delimited the territory based on the existence of territorial, historical, economic, social and cultural bonds, marked by the course of the Guadeloupe river in its average course. The river that next to its tributaries, Guadalopillo, Bergantes, Mezquín has modeled surroundings of doubtless ecological value. From the orchards and fields given life by them comes fruit, olive trees, almonds tree and grapevine that fall under the appellation. Like the oil and the peaches of Calanda, the wine of the Bajo Aragón is of great refinement and fruit driven aromas. Wine has always been cultivated in this region. There for, we could create the wine Evohé with the fruit from experienced growers from old healthy vines that lives in symbiosis with nature. The philosophy and style is as the rest of the cultivated fruits; ripe, sweet and spicy. Wine is part of the culture and present with every meal.
