Description

The Cantera de Santa Ana farm is located in a privileged place known for centuries as the “Monte de las viñas”.

They carry out a quality, passionate and responsible viticulture. Their production is limited since they exclusively make the estate's grapes: Chardonnay, Syrah, Red Garnacha, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo.

Green pruning, thinning, selected harvest, maceration, malolactic fermentation in barrels, maturation in oak and in bottle, the passage of time... are some of the magical tools they use to make their wines.

DO Navarre

The proximity of the Cantabrian Sea, the barrier of the Pyrenees and the mild climate of the Ebro Valley make Navarra a unique place on the peninsula for growing grapes. Here Atlantic, continental and Mediterranean climates are found.

This denomination is divided into 5 zones: Baja Montaña, Tierra Estella, Ribera Alta, Valdizarbe and Low Bank, which is where Finca La Cantera is located. In the heart of the Ebro valley and with the Moncayo mountain range in the background, the unique nuances of this plot represent the terroir of the Estate Wines, harvested manually and elaborated with great care in an artisanal way.

Must see are The Bardenas Reales of Navarra. Yes or yes you will fall in love. They were the scene in the sixth season Game of Thrones. This desert Biosphere Reserve of 420 square kilometers is a jewel full of whims of nature.

The Winery

Its fourteen hectares are located in the Ebro Valley, in the heart of a large terrace known as the "Monte de las viñas". The Cantera de Santa Ana farm is “Soil, Moncayo and Cierzo”. Moncayo, majestic, as the highest peak of the Iberian system protects them by trapping the clouds and cold Atlantic. Its imposing size and its halo of a sacred mountain create a unique, almost magical landscape. Alluvial soil and limestone soil. Fast draining and fresh in the background. Exceptional for viticulture. The Cierzo. That cold, dry northwesterly wind. When it blows it makes our grapes healthy and our nights cool.

Respect for the terroir and uniqueness

They work the vineyard with passion and respect for the terroir. Through gentle tillage and without more irrigation than the natural rain. The conditions of this ecosystem and intense manual labor (green pruning, thinning, selection...) allow them to be grown sustainably and responsibly. Chardonnay, Syrah, Red Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot are its varieties.

Vintages, care and time

Traditional and careful preparations, always taking into account the characteristics of each vintage. They seek to bring out the best of each variety. The process and times are different for each of them; fermentations, macerations, maturation in oak, rest in the bottle... but one thing is common to all their wines, the care with which they are worked.

Information about Finca La Cantera

A personal project.

Tomás Santos Irujo, with experience in important wine-growing regions of France and Spain, chose La Cantera de Santa Ana to develop his most personal oenological project, with the support of Grupo Vidmundi.

Tomás, born in Pamplona, has a degree in Biology from the University of Navarra. He wanted to continue his training and decided to go to Tarragona to take a degree in Oenology at the Rovira i Virgili University. It was there that he met his wife Silvia, also a winemaker.

They both decided to start their working life in Navarra, so Tomás returned to his land, and it is where they have also raised their family.
