Geography

The first organic vineyard in the province of Málaga, the Bodega F.Schatz, is located on the Sanguijuela Estate about 10 kilometres from Ronda, situated in the famous “Serrania de Ronda”, on an elevated plate on 600 m above sea level, surrounded by the “Sierra de Grazalema” (Cádiz) and by the “Sierra de las Nieves” (Málaga).

These mountain ranges protect it from the strong easterly and westerly winds, and guarantee a stable rainfall of about 500 litres a year. Furthermore, there is a special microclimate (hot days and cool nights), which offers ideal conditions for producing top quality red, white and rosé wines.

The vineyard extends down a gentle south-facing slope with good soil cover, Frank-Silt-Clay-Sandy texture, being healthy due to its good aeration and permeability qualities. The ‘finca’ (estate) offers a picturesque view surrounded by scrub land, natural streams, oak woods, grazing land and the “Cañada Real” Málaga-Sevilla-Jerez.
