odegas Quo was founded in 1956. Today, the winemaker is Roberto Perez Martinez. The
vineyards are located in DO Campo de Borja, in the province of Zaragoza.
Campo de Borja is a transitional area among the mountains of the Sistema Ibérico in the Ebro
Valley. The setting is unique, with the impressive mountains of the Moncayo National Park in the
background. The Romans built the area’s hydrological system almost two thousand years ago
and were the first to plant vines.
The vineyards have a continental climate influenced by the Atlantic Ocean in winter and by the
Mediterranean in summer. The soil is brown-calcareous and moderately rocky with good
drainage. In the vineyards closer to the Moncayo Mountains, the soil is clay-ferrous and rocky.
The vines are subject to extreme conditions. They are planted at 1,000-2,000 feet with wide
temperature fluctuations between day and night and from season to season. Rainfall is rare, with
yearly averages between 13-17 inches. The vineyards are organically and dry farmed and no
chemicals are used (pesticides, fertilizers, additives, etc).
At harvest, the grapes are handpicked. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in glass lined
cement tanks with native yeasts. The wines are very minimally fined or filtered.
